Where Waves Hit The Cliffs: At Bantay Abot Cave & Other Rock Formations

If you’re looking for beautiful rock formations on scenic beach views, then Pagudpud is for you.

Here you could find lots and of that. A few of them that are worth visiting to are:

Timmangtang Rock Formation

A bell-shaped rock located along the seacoast of Sitio Gaoa, Balaoi, Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte.

Not far away from the Timmangtang Rock is the Bantay-abot Cave. They are collectively known as the “Lover’s Rock”. The Timmangtang Rock is the male rock and the Bantay-abot Cave the female. Take a look…

Bantay Abot Cave

Not a cave but a big tunnel lie hole in the ledge of the cliff jotting out into the sea into the way of the Blue Lagoon.

Blue Lagoon

Blue Lagoon Pagudpud is also known as the Boracay of the North, but in my own opinion, you cannot compare the two.

Apparently, Blue Lagoon has longer shoreline than Boracay and when you get to walk from the water, you’ll see cottages and not fancy hotels. I just hope that this beach remain unspoiled.
