SUMMER! SUMMER! SUMMER! Since summer has already begun, all my posts for the next 2 months will be about the best Beaches in Town I've been to and where you might want to spend your summer. For Starters, let me share you San Juan La Union, also known as the Surfing Capital of the North.
Travelling to San Juan, La Union from Manila will only take you 5-6 hours via Bus or via Private Transpo. For those who would take Bus, there is Partas Transport buses depart hourly 24/7 from Cubao, Q.C. Manila to Laoag, a province of northern Luzon. Just tell the bus conductor that you want to be dropped off at Urbiztondo, San Juan, La Union which will drop you right in front of the beach front resorts. The fare is around 380 pesos. As for those who love travelling via Private Transpo, I will share you the path I have driven to get there. From Quezon City Circle, take North then turn right before Mcdonald's (infront of Trinoma), then go straight ahead. From there you will see the NLEX toll gate, you have to pay 218 pesos. From the toll gate just drive straight ahead to SCTEX, which will take you 1 - 1 1/2 hour (never take any exit). From SCTEX toll gate, you have to pay 177 pesos, from there you just drive straight ahead again to TPLEX. It will take you 1 hour.
There are plenty of accommodation/resorts where you can spend the night. The room rate starts from 1,000 pesos/night. It is already an airconditioned room. I advise you to book earlier instead of last minute booking. If you wish to surf, the fee is just around 200pesos for 1 hour.
I wish everyone whose planning to travel to SAN JUAN LA UNION to have a safe trip and enjoy the SUMMER! :)
