'Surfing capital' Siargao reopens to local tourists Monday: DOT

MANILA - Siargao in Surigao Del Norte, considered the country's surfing capital, will reopen to local tourists beginning Monday, November 23, as the tourism industry continues on the road to revival after months of travel restrictions because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"This is encouraging news for everyone who loves the sea, especially the surfers. As Siargao reopens to travelers, subject to minimum health and safety standards, the people of the island will regain their livelihood and share their paradise to our kababayans once more with the same level of hospitality they have always been known for," Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat said in the statement.

Flights to the tear-shaped island will resume on December 1 and tourists are expected to enjoy "its world-class white sand beaches, natural rock and cave pools, romantic sunsets, and wild water surf sites" along with the country's well-known surf spots.
