About Ilocos Norte

Ilocos Norte, a province in the Philippines' northernmost tip, is an unmissable destination for its rich history, stunning beaches, and breathtaking landscapes. One of its standout attractions is the Cape Bojeador Lighthouse, a 19th-century Spanish-era lighthouse standing tall on a cliff overlooking the South China Sea. Travellers love the unique sand dunes of Paoay, where they can surf down the towering dunes or simply marvel at the surreal landscape. The best time to visit Ilocos Norte is between December and May, when the weather is dry and sunny. For first-timers, it's practical to hire a local guide who can take you to hidden gems and share the province's rich history and culture, making the most out of your trip.
