MUST VISIT SPOTS IN SIARGAO

1) Dako Island

Its powdery white sand is almost or even more beautiful than that of Boracay – that is minus the crowd! Its crystal clear turquoise waters is just so tempting that even non-swimmers would be tempted to dip into. The seclusion of the place, whereby only few people are currently living is something that you have always been dreaming for a vacation – simply tranquil. The winds in the island are pretty cool as well because they are those that come from the Pacific Ocean, so you expect that to be quite strong and gentle. Dako Island, aside from its picturesque sceneries, can also brag its sweet-tasting coconut – the best ones ever!

2) Taktak Falls

With surfing as Siargao’s ubiquitous activity and the beach side pleasures it brings along with it, Taktak Falls is a breather from all the sun, and surf. Although not as grand as the mother falls of Baler or La Union, this forest respite features a friendlier version with man-made walls lining the banks to keep the water in like a pool.

3) Cloud 9 Boardwalk

Surfer or not, the amazing view of General Luna’s Boardwalk is something to behold. At three stories high, it offers the best view of Siargao’s world-class waves and those ripping on them. Wake up early and catch the sunrise as a precedent to an early morning surf session before the crowds kick in.

4) Sugba Lagoon

Through the mangrove forest and its connections of lagoons, your bangka will lead you into the secluded Sugba Lagoon. Apart from the fishermen who live deep within the mangrove systems, the privy lagoon is mostly deserted and offers privacy to its visitors. It is also home to the stingless jellyfish which you can swim with in Sugba’s turquoise waters.

5) Mangroove Forest

Del Carmen’s Mangrove Reserve is an ethereal experience on its own. At 8,620 hectares, you are treated to lush flora and fauna via bangka, kayak or SUP (stand-up paddle) considering it is recognized as a wildlife sanctuary by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Keep your eyes peeled since it is also home to the rare saltwater crocodile, the largest land and river-dwelling predator.

SIARGAO`S DANGGIT

Danggit is the local Philippine name for a fish also known the rabbitfish or spinefoot (part of the Siganus family). Other local names include samaral, taragbago, kitang, or tabago. It can be eaten fresh or dried; dried and salted danggit is a popular Filipino food and is well known as a product of Cebu. When fried, it becomes crispy, and is often eaten dipped in vinegar (sukang pinakurat).

COCONUT OIL

Coconut oil, or copra oil, is an edible oil extracted from the kernel or meat of mature coconuts harvested from the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera). It has various applications. Because of its high saturated fat content, it is slow to oxidize and, thus, resistant to rancidification, lasting up to six months at 24 °C (75 °F) without spoiling. Coconut oil is made by pressing the fat from the white “meat” inside the giant nut. About 84% of its calories come from saturated fat. To compare, 14% of olive oil’s calories are from saturated fat and 63% of butter’s are.



SIARGAO MARATHON

Siargao International Marathon is a fundraising campaign organized by the Municipality of Del Carmen together with Runrio Events, Inc. and Open Space Media Inc. for the benefit of mangrove rehabilitation in Del Carmen. This is the 1st Siargao International Marathon following the success of the municipality’s “Shore It Up” program.
