About Saud Beach, Pagudpud, Philippines
The Ilocos region in the Philippines includes the two provinces of Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur. Perhaps the most beautiful and relatively untouched destination in Ilocos Norte is Pagudpud. The area known as Pagudpud is a gorgeous place that is rich in the thick jungle wilderness, magical white sand beaches, and friendly locals. One beach that has caught the attention of adventure seekers, backpackers, and people who just want a relaxing holiday is the incredible Saud Beach. This beach has been dubbed “the Boracay of the North” because of its perfect white sands and picturesque blue waters, but this gem of the Philippines is what Boracay used to be before commercial tourism took over.
