Let's dive into the magic of the Philippines, especially the chill vibes of Siargao. This island is more than just a surfer's paradise—it's like finding a hidden gem that's been our little secret for ages. WSL recently shone a spotlight on it, but trust me, the surfers knew about this slice of heaven long before that.
Sure, Siargao is all about surfing, but there's so much more to soak in. Picture this: cruising on a scooter to surf spots outside General Luna. The roads are as narrow as your grandma's patience during rush hour, but with nature leaning in, it's like riding through a postcard. Forget big trucks; tuk-tuks and scooters rule the road. Horns? They're not angry honks but more like, "Hey, I'm passing" or "Watch out, dog crossing!" It took me a bit to use my horn, but now I'm part of the symphony.
Now, let's talk Siargao's food scene—a rollercoaster from fancy local tasting menus to street food that taste like a grandma's hug. And yeah, sometimes it's actually grandma cooking! Sure, there's tourist-friendly menus, but venture out, and you'll hit roadside barbecues that'll make you slam on the brakes.
Waves? Siargao's got them in abundance. Cloud 9 is the rockstar with its reef right-hand barrel. It can get a bit wild, with the island's surf pros showing off their moves. Beginners, no worries—there are easy waves nearby. Secret Beach isn't really a secret, but it's a dream for newbies. Some waves need a boat ride, and I dig that the prices are fair for everyone.
When you're surfed out, Siargao unveils more tricks. Cold water springs, hikes with killer views, and rowing through swamps. Tidal pools and beach bumming are musts too.
And hey, the queer community rocks here. Rainbow flags fly proudly, and the vibe? It's as open as your favorite beach read. Siargao's like that friend who welcomes everyone, no matter who you are. In the waves, under the sun, and amid the island's chill, you'll find your spot. Come as you are!
