Pagudpud

The northern coastal municipality of Pagudpud stretches along white sand beaches with clear waters and features mountains reaching 92 meters in elevation.

Pagudpud emerged as an independent municipality on July 5, 1954, separating from the neighboring town of Bangui under the leadership of Constante Benemerito.

The community maintains strong ties to Roman Catholic traditions while incorporating indigenous practices, particularly visible during local festivities and celebrations.

Visitors can reach Pagudpud through regular bus services from Manila to Laoag City, followed by a 90-minute journey north along coastal highways.

The Bangui Wind Farm, established as the first wind energy facility in Southeast Asia, stands along the shoreline with 20 large turbines.
