San Juan in La Union is known as the Surfing Capital of the North. The surf town is most alive during the north swell, when consistent waves come in from October to April. But if you're not that much into this sport, there are still plenty of things to do in San Juan. We get up close and personal with the people who makes this surf town a top destination all year round as well as hidden gems worth visiting, including the sea turtle conservation Project CURMA, Hilom Farm, Clean Beach Coffee, Bebo's Bombay Burritos, and more.

We’re always on the lookout for something cool, somewhere to go, something to try, or someone to meet. If you’ve spotted any of these out there, send us a tip at spotted@spot.ph.
