La Union is well known for its beaches where surfing has been one of its main reason for tourist influx. It’s not called Surfing Capital of the North for nothing. Unfortunately, I have yet to explore the entire province nor ride a single wave for my visit was short-lived and event-related. However, I was able to check out a few places within the city and get a taste of what this place has to offer.
Given a chance, I would definitely go back here to explore all the other heritage and natural sites that lie within its 19 municipalities. Who knows, maybe I’ll be brave enough to face the waves headstrong!

WHERE TO STAY IN LA UNION
Picking a place to stay for a vacation is as important as the vacation itself. Whether you pick a budget-friendly inn or a resort that prioritizes comfort and relaxation, picking the right one that would fit your itinerary is. Getting free accommodations at a high end resort is awesome, but I wanna come back to see other budget to mid-range possibilities there.
