in this area, no one seems to rake the sands clean. coral remains, rocks, pebbles and shells of sorts abound this part of Mairaira's shoreline. west of the main beach area.
when i was a kid, after hours of swimming, we would always end the day by picking shells. but for the locals here, it seems like these sea jewels are too ordinary for them to keep.
this side of the beach is also the surfer's haven because of the break water. they say the nearby Kapuluan resort house a lot of surfers both locals and foreigners. if you zoom the photo here, you can see some of the surfers.
a great view of the Dos Hermanos islands or the Two Brothers islands can be seen from this point. if the weather would have been better, we could have crossed and explored the island. another reason for us to return to this beach.
what's good about this shoreline, is it's too accessible from the main beach area. just a short walk either along the shore or through the unpaved road, you can easily reach this area.
i dedicate this series to the locals of Ilocos Norte who were largely affected by the tropical storm Pepeng. we were there two weeks before it hit Northern Luzon.

the shore looks raw not like in those crowded and commercialized beaches which is good - for me.
yay! first honor! :)
Wow, what a great place to be. Will surely check this out if you say it is a surfer's camp. Thanks for the tip. Ayo-ayo.
that's a place I like, uncrowded and noncommercialized. love to camp there.
What a quiet and beautiful beach, Dong. Nice shots!

Dong!
OMG! Do u ever rest?
If they have surf breaks like that ordinarily, imagine what it would have looked like at the height of Typhoon Pepeng.
gusto ko yang shell dun sa second picture.
Wonder how this place looks like after the storm
Lovely to see these shells on the beach. We dont get to see anymore of these shells on our beaches.
Hello my friend sorry if i am not being around here in your blog for such a long time...

Good you were not there during the typhoon.
Looks nice and unspoiled by tourism!
Mabato pero ganda ng mga shells and stones in different shapes and colors lalo na yung nasa kamay mo ang ganda?
naks! at least you're safe and di na naabutan pa ng bagyo... pero mukhang kelangan ata nakasandals pagnaglalakad sa shores ah... jijijijiji
I used to pick up some shell, too, when I'm visiting a beach. Especially the irregular ones. The black shell in the photo seems unusual (at least in my eyes). =)
what is this black jewels? pebbles ba yun?
i love sea shells. and you had captured them nice, dong!
pagudpud? sa ilocos norte ba yan? ang ganda pala.
ganda nga in pagudpud. once palang ako nakapunta dun. :) sabagay maganda nga in ilocos. the beaches are still unspoiled. i hope you get to go back with your friends again soon.
parang maalon o sign of things to come ba yon?
sana nga makaahon agad mga nasalanta ni pepeng
happy weekend, dong!

Parang pang-Survivor series :)
