Siargao is a 437-square-kilometer island in the province of Surigao del Norte, Philippines.
Known primarily for surfing, it hosts consistent waves at Cloud 9 from September to November.
Beyond surfing, the island features the Sohoton Cove National Park with limestone caves and lagoons, and the Magpupungko tidal pools, best visited at low tide. Siargao's landscape includes extensive mangrove forests and coconut plantations, which shape much of its rural character.

Magpupungko Pools
Visit the natural tidal pools near Pilar during low tide for clear water and rock formations.
Sohoton Cove
