Siargao, Tropical island in Surigao del Norte, Philippines
Siargao extends over 437 square kilometers with white sandy beaches, coral reefs, and clear waters in the Philippine Sea, southeast of Tacloban.
Spanish navigator Bernardo de la Torre first documented the island in 1543 during his journey from Sarangani to New Spain, naming it Isla de las Palmas.
The local population maintains strong connections to maritime traditions, with fishing activities and surfing competitions shaping the island's daily rhythms.
Visitors reach the island through Sayak Airport, which receives direct flights from Manila and Clark International Airport throughout the year.
The Cloud 9 surf break produces thick, hollow tubes over a coral reef, making it a primary location for the annual Siargao Cup surfing competition.
