la union surfing
We went to La Union just recently, you can make the trip in 5 - 6 hours from Manila.
The place is complete with amenities, there were a lot of shops and atm machines in the town proper, there were a lot of small inns.
Also most of the inn's are intended for surfers and has surf shops and instructors all over. You will also find a great crowd there.
Lots of beautiful people. The beach has a sand bottom so it's great for beginners. Very safe, the only thing you have to worry about is getting hit by the boards. hahaha
