Description of Kingfisher Resort Beach (Philippines)
Kingfisher Resort Beach is located in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte, Philippines, and it's renowned for its prime kitesurfing conditions. The spot offers a mix of flat, shallow waters and wave riding, making it particularly appealing to intermediate to expert kiters.
The beach features a stretch of over 200 meters of fine, white sand and corals, with shallow waters that are safe for kids and non-swimmers due to the absence of undercurrents.
The wind conditions are among the best in the Philippines, with consistent winds ideal for wave kiting. The best time for kitesurfing is during the windy season, which typically occurs from November to February. During this period, the winds are strong, often necessitating smaller kites.
The sunset and sunrise views from the beach are breathtaking, adding to the serene atmosphere of the resort. Besides kitesurfing, the resort offers activities such as windsurfing, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkeling, and hiking to nearby waterfalls. Kingfisher Resort is a pet-friendly destination that started with simple nipa huts and has grown to include a variety of accommodations, from cabanas to superior rooms. The resort's remote location in Caparispisan provides a peaceful and relaxing vacation experience, away from commercialized areas.
