Pacifico Beach Siargao is a cruisey surf town with white sand beaches, tropical palm trees and A-class surf breaks on the north-eastern tip of Siargao Island. Make the drive away from the popular Siargao tourist hub, General Luna, and enjoy some peace and quiet among the tropical paradise of Pacifico Beach.
I have put together this complete guide of Pacifico Beach Siargao including how to get there, where to stay and what to expect!
Have you got travel insurance for Philippines? I know that nobody likes to talk about this stuff but accidents can happen and having World Nomads Insurance can save you thousands of dollars if something goes wrong.
WHERE IS PACIFICO BEACH SIARGAO
Pacifico Beach is located on the north-eastern coastline of Siargao Island. Pacifico Beach is approximately a 1-hour drive from the main tourist hub of General Luna. Follow the Siargao Circumferential Rd and you won’t get lost.
The best way to get around Siargao Island is on a scooter. The cost for a scooter rental is around 300-400 pesos per day or for a monthly rental you’ll get a cheaper rate of 200-300 pesos per day.
Most accommodations will be more than happy to help you to organise a scooter rental for the time you plan to spend on Siargao Island.
Packing Cubes: My favorite item in my backpack! Perfect for organizing your shirts, pants, jackets, socks, underwear and more. This 5 Set Packing Cubes makes packing easier and more efficient, adding extra space in your bag for your next trip.
ON THE WAY TO PACIFICO BEACH SIARGAO
In my opinion, you don’t want to go directly to Pacifico Beach Siargao as there are so many awesome locations worth stopping at along the way.

- Tayangban Cave Pool

WHAT TO EXPECT AT PACIFICO BEACH SIARGAO
The village at Pacifico Beach is a sleepy surf town nestled beneath a coconut palm tree rainforest. This small coastal town in Siargao’s north is the perfect spot to surf, eat, sleep and repeat!
Pacifico Beach is one of the best Siargao surf spots on the island. Many surfers flock here to surf the A-class reef breaks just a short paddle out from the shoreline.
There are a small handful of surf breaks at Pacifico Beach Siargao, all within a couple of minutes walk from each other. Take your pick of left-hand or right-hand waves that are best surfed on mid to low tides.
My friends and I spent 2 days and 1 night at Pacifico Beach Siargao and here’s what we got up to:
- Surfed the long left-hand point break at Pacifico Beach
- Explored the pristine white sand beach
- Swam in the turquoise water in the bay
- Hammock chills between the coconut palm trees
- Sunset at Pacifico Beach Resort
- Ate the BEST local food at Lebron James & Dwayne Wade restaurant
