The surfing beach of Urbiztondo San Juan La Union

I really wanted to visit La Union and finally we had a very short but memorable experience in the surfing beach of Urbiztondo San Juan La Union. The place has a lot of professional surfer compared with in Liwliwa Zambales, I was just amazed to see them even at far surfing against the big waves of the sea so lovely.

There are alot of accomodation to choose from nearby the beach area. I can't say that it is cheaper because when we arrived they are on a peak season since ber month is a surfing season. We were able to ask around and they are offering Php1,500 for a halfday  stay (4hours) a bit pricey right? so we decided not to stay long since we are actually going to Abra for a long week vacation. If your hungry, there are restaurants near the beach but if you want a more cheaper one there are also along the highway such as carinderia and seven eleven store (7/11).

Back to the beach, I love the gray to black fine sand and the waves that makes for surfing possible though it is really scary for someone who dont know how to swim and surf like me. I just enjoyed the surfers doing their stunt and exhibition so awesome to watch. By the way we did not pay for any entrance fee since we were only there to watch and walk around.

If you plan to visit the surfing beach, best is during ber month starting September because the waves are much bigger suitable for surfing though ber month is their peak season expect higher cost of accommodation but if your in a group you can save a lot.

Breakdown of our expenses;

Transportation
Partas bus -Php 300-500 can be higher depending on the type of bus you will be getting ours is deluxe only for 300per head this is aircon already.
Food in carinderia
Php200 to 300 for 2persons (sorry forgot the exact amount but not more than 300)
for 3 viand(ulam) and 3 rice

We ask around possible expenses if you plan to stay long.

Php2,000 to Php4000 for accomodation can be higher depending on the type.
Surfing with board & instructor
500per hour

I recommend to ride Partas Bus via Vigan just ask to drop you off at exactly in Urbiztondo La Union just a couple of walk to the beach. They have a bus station in Cubao and Pasay. The last trip in Cubao is every 12midnight and in Pasay is 3am, this was during the time we visited La Union September 2019.
