PORO POINT's - HIDDEN CLIFF/BEACH

The Hidden Cliff/Beach - Poro Point, City of San Fernando, La Union

I'll be having a short vacation in Agoo, La Union with friends to experience Dinengdeng Festival. Since the feast will be celebrated May 5 and 6, 2016 we still have the whole weekend to wander.
One of my friends searched online for tourist's destination near Agoo and found a photo online (with less than 500 likes only) so we were hesitant if this is true. It's a white sand beach in a cliff near Poro point - Lighthouse.

OUR ITINERARY



After the Dinengdeng festival it's expected that we are all drunk and woke up late lol! We decided to visit this hidden gem before sunset so 4pm when all is set we started to do the adventure. From Agoo (proper) we rode a bus going to San Fernando City and we asked the driver to drop us off at Diversion (Tan Building). Here's the Landmark.


Diversion (Landmark) - way to Poro point

From there we hire a tricycle going to Thunder Bird - Resort's and Casino. We asked two security guard at the main gate when we arrived how to go to the Lighthouse and they gave us directions. We walked for about 15 mins.and we reached the Fiesta Building. Most of the resorts customers do jog and bike that time (around 5pm nearly sunset).





From there another 10 mins.walk going to the lighthouse. We actually had a hard time looking for it, seems like were going nowhere. We are also hesitant to ask those oncoming bikers and joggers since we are all shy type peeps (laughs). So we just walked and saw a signage heading to lighthouse. What a big help! After almost a total of 30mins.of walked,  we finally reached the Lighthouse.
From there, turn left and surprised yourself with this Cliff.

Short trek going to shore


In order to get down to the seashore you need to do a short trek w/c would take less than 5 mins.only, no safety equipment's available.

(I'm not sure if this area is still covered from the resorts title but if it does, seems like they were not aware about this hidden gem).

The place is still not developed - the natural beauty of it is still not disturbed. Were wondering about the concrete stairs near the cliff with only few steps. Maybe it's part of the broken stairway going down (based on my observation only).











When you're at the seashore. You'll taste the salt in the air as you stand by the beach came from strong wind and waves crashing against the shore. The beach is lonely, quite, preserved and silent. No entrance fee, absolutely for free. It's highlight includes crystal clear water, white sand, smooth stones, shells and pebbles. Very peaceful.
