One of the nicest beaches visited in Luzon with light sand and clear waters.

I’m from Australia, and came to this place with my family in two full vans with small children. We stayed in Fort Ilocandia Laoag city and travelled 2 hrs to the beach.

The water gets pretty deep after about 2 meters from the shore (but maybe it was high tide as we were there around afternoon) so perhaps it is not too child friendly.

The water was calm and would’ve been perfect to use SUP if I had remembered to bring it. The water was clear and had some rocks, corals(?) so it was fun to go snorkeling and could see some tropical fish. Word of warning, my sister and I saw a couple of the black and White Sea snake amongst the rocks so it is highly advisable not to walk on rocks, wear swimming shoes, and only venture out to the deeper areas if you are experienced swimmer and just avoid stepping on the rocks.

The beach was one of the cleanest beaches I’ve been to in the Philippines. It has cottages for rent and at the time of visit, the shower rooms and toilets were being renovated but there was one outdoor shower near the entrance. There is an entrance fee, it was around ₽20 or $1 if you’re a foreigner. Prices may change but know there is an entrance fee. There was a volleyball net if you need a break from the water and boats were also seen near the shore (maybe you could hire them?).

Overall, had a good time at this beach, not too child friendly, clear blue waters, clean light sand, and would definitely visit this place again.

There's an environmental fee of 20 php but we were able to enter through a path (without the walls) thus our visit were free. Perfect temp for a beach. No rocks on the shore, and there's a lot of fish! Definitely a must-visit during Ilocos trip!

Went here with my wife last 2/23/2020. Only a few people on the beach, maybe due to the cool weather (24 C at 11 AM), and strong winds. I had a refreshing swim in the clear light blue waters and we had a hearty lunch at a nearby open air restaurant. It was a perfect afternoon with my wife.

I checked in to this place many years ago and spent overnight with a friend. The room was quiet and facilities were new at that time. We enjoyed the serenity of the sea during the night and as if the sound of the waves lulled us to sleep.

On my summer vacation this year, we chanced upon this same beach which has not lost its serenity. The calm breeze of the beach and pristine water makes it a perfect place to relax. Highly recommended.

This is one of the beach areas of Pagudpud. It's located in Brgy. Saud ... very accessible from the main road. It's got light brown colored fine sand and clear waters ... lovely for swimming. However, it's not the best beach in Pagudpud. Head for the Blue Lagoon instead. At any rate, Saud offers a vast selection of resorts (unlike the Blue Lagoon) and is much closer to rhe main road.

Since it was the end of the trip in the Philippines, my friend and me literally had no money left.
So we decided to go camping at the beach, which was definiteley the right decision!

We had a great spot on a small hill, where you could see the sunset perfectly and escape a bit of the busy crowd on the beach itself.
The stalls in front had great food to offer and were always happy to help us out with water oder putting our veggies on the grill.

The plan first was to stay for 2 or three days, but we ended up staying for a week! Its worth a trip, even though its nothing else to see except of the beach and a waterfall!

The beach itself is really beautiful. Worth visiting, but not have to choose your hotel carefully. Lot of hotels will scam it's beach as theirs but you'll find they only have rocks, and the proper beach is a bit far. The sand is very nice, and high elevated from the sea level.

Saud beach is one of the cleanest beach I’ve ever been to: Nice powdery sand; clear blue-green water with not-so mild waves crashing into the beach; windmills as backdrop against this magnificent view... Best of all, you got to enjoy a beautiful sunset right in front of you…

If only they could get rid of the dogs loitering around… I wonder where they poop?

Beautiful setting, needs a little maintenance, staff must have worked at correction facility before being hired here.
Desk Manager spent more time telling us what she couldn't do for us vs what she could. Demanded full payment before you got to see the rooms. Staff threatened to fine us 50p for pouring their hot water into our thermos to make coffee. Never stayed at such a depressing, tight fisted hotel like this one.. Rented 4 rooms for 2 nights, couldn't wait to get away... I had to apologize to the family I brought to stay here.
