Although Urbiztondo is not the surfing capital of the Philippines, many people flock to the area from October until March when the best waves arrive. The place is also the main tourist spot in La Union as the beach party culture is alive in this place at nighttime.
The surfing fee for Urbiztondo usually ranges from PHP200 per hour to PHP400 per hour (with tour and surfboard). A half-day rental typically costs PHP500.
How to get there: From Manila, tourists can ride a bus bound to San Fernando, La Union. Ask the driver to drop you off at the jeepney stop for San Juan, then ride a jeepney to Urbiztondo Beach.
