Escape the heat right at L’s Surftown

It’s official: the dry season is here.

As we try to power through the humid weather day in and day out, and brace ourselves for more oppressively scorching days, thoughts of lounging by the beach fill our minds. Surely, what else could make the heat more bearable than the cool ocean breeze and the prospect of a refreshing dip in the sea?

For those yearning to chill at the seaside, one accessible and easy getaway is the province of La Union. The vibrant surf town of San Juan, in particular, offers diverse resorts, hostels and vacation homes that suit every budget.
