Roaming Around General Luna, Siargao
The boardwalk at General Luna. This is not the one in Cloud 9. |
We were starving when we went back to Isla Cabana Tropical Island Resort from our island hopping activities. So after washing up and changing clothes, we went out to look for something to eat and explore the town at the same time.
The sleepy street at GL |
One interesting thing that we saw was this one -- freshly baked bread by the streetside. The lady said they call this "pan de surf" because of its shape that resembles a surf board.

More bread at Php 5 bucks! |
Pan de surf up close |
We continued to walk until we saw this eatery. We saw no other eatery along the street so we decided to have lunch here. Food in Siargao is generally more affordable than Boracay or El Nido. At this eatery, we were able to eat one viand, one huge cup of rice and a soda for around Php 60. And mind you, my viand was a huge serving of lokus (squid).

Yummy squid! |
No need from wide-brimmed hut |
Since Siargao is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, signboards like this for tsunami warning are all over the place.
We also went to the market to check out what seafood we can buy but since it was late afternoon already, there were only a few options left. What I like about General Luna's market is that there is a standard price for all.
The municipal hall |
Baywalk in GL |
The beach by the boardwalk has fine sand actually, but needs coastal cleanup |
Playful jellies |
We were hoping to catch the sunset but we figured out it might be hard to go back to Isla Cabana Tropical Island Resort if we did, so we started the long walk while the sun is still up.

Ronaldo's also offers rooms at Php 900 per night.
There's actually too many spots to explore in Siargao but we just had too little time. On our next visit, we'll definitely go to Mapupungko tidal pool and explore the virgin beaches of La Janoza and Mam-on. Mang Lito said boat to La Janoza and Mam-on Islands costs Php 2,500. Not bad. 'Til next time Siargao!
Up next, our Bucas Grande Adventure.
