Planning to surf this summer? Skip La Union and Baler and visit Liw-liwa in Zambales instead. This surf town may be small but it has so much to offer. I felt like I was back in Bali when I arrived. Who would've thought I would find vegan burgers, cold brew and crystals here?
Accommodation
No matter what type of traveler you are, you'll find a place in Liw-Liwa. I stayed in Surf Theori with two of my girl friends-- Jessi and Trina. They have private rooms with your own bathroom which fits up to four pax and they also have huts that can fit up to three pax with a shared bathroom. There are also hostels nearby if you're a solo traveler/ backpacker.
Nipa Rooms |
A Private Room has two Double Beds and Bathroom |
The beach is just a 5 minute walk from the resort |
I love how the resort has wall art painted by local artists |
Food
My favorite part of our trip to Liw-liwa was the food. There are around 10 restaurants in town (if i'm not mistaken) and each restaurant has its own specialty. I wasn't expecting much since usually whenever I go to the beach the food is just seafood but Liw-liwa's food was something else. They have vegan burgers, pizza rolls, an Ilocano restaurant that has authentic Vigan longganisa and more.
*Tip: Eat in the pasta bar. I can't remember the name of the restaurant but it's the best tuna pasta that I've had in my life.
Tadhana is a Filipino restaurant that serves dishes like Lechon Kawali, Garlic Bagoong and Chicken Inasal |
Board Culture has the best milk shakes and pasta |
Sharing with you other photos that I took from the trip
They sell handicrafts to support the community |
I'm so lucky to call the Philippines home--- where I can literally spend
every weekend in a different beach because there are so many to choose
from. It would take me years to visit all the beaches in this country
but it's a good thing I discovered Liw-liwa before everyone else did. I'm sure travelers will be flocking here this summer.
Thank you for the recommendations! Missed reading your blogs, I know you had a hard time to type to think because you are tired today but it's your passion and still you want to share something special for us. Love you dearest
