Siargao's Instagrammable Spots and What to Wear

It’s not at all difficult to feel that you’re on Cloud 9 in Siargao. For many surfers, this tear-drop shaped in the province of Surigao del Norte is their idea of heaven on earth. And why not? Cloud 9, its most famous surf break, could give any surfer the ride of his life.

But then again, you don’t need to be a surfer to appreciate the beauty and charm of Siargao. Here, some must-see destinations when you drop in on this island southeast of Tacloban.

Talk about ethereal! This lagoon will have you thanking your lucky stars that you were born in the Republic of the Philippines. A 4000-hectare marine sanctuary, this lagoon will have you sailing through lush mangroves and fishing communities. Grill seafood on one of the coves. Explore the lagoon on a kayak. Swim with the fishes, or just work on your tan.

A white swimsuit would definitely make you a standout amidst the blues and the greens.

Bring a bright blue coverup if you want some reprieve from the sun.

With all the surfing and swimming you’re going to do, you need to power up. And in Siargao, powering up means a trip to Shaka Café for its healthy, all-natural power bowls!

Life is going to be ten times sweeter with a bowl of Cloud 9 Kook, an energizing concoction made from banana, peanut butter, cacao, and coconut milk. The Blissful Butterfly, with its combination of kiwi, apple, butterfly pea flower, and coconut, is oh so good for your body; the flower has anti-stress, anti-aging, and anti-diabetic properties.

Match your power bowl with a smoothie for good measure. Shaka offers Island Dream with pineapple, mango, coconut, mixed berries, and calamansi juice; BerryGoodNice with mixed berries, banana, grated coconut, and coconut water; Tropoloco with pineapple, mango, banana, coconut flesh, and coconut water, among others.

A printed swimwear and a pair of shorts will hide evidence of your tropical feast.
