Additional Information

It is located in a quaint little town called Lanuza in Surigao del Sur. There is a surf camp Poktoy Palm haven. Nearest airport is in Surigao City, three to four hours away by bus. People are very friendly and open-minded.

Atmosphere

I love this place, very peaceful, clean, and almost zero percent crime rate. The locals are the nicest people in the world, and they volunteer to teach you. and they know a lot considering that this is a very remote place, probably because of the influx of foreign visitors. The waves are good for beginners only for befor and end of surf sesson because they are not too big, and there are no rocks that could injure first-timers who fall off their surfboards all the time.

General

Lovely.
