BEACHIN' VEGAN | Mindoro Beach, Mindoro, Vigan, Ilocos Sur


Mindoro Beach | 
While you've probably heard  about Vigan's famous tourist spots    Calle Crisologo, The Sinking Bell Tower, its cathedrals, monuments and delicacies  it's worth to know, too, its underrated natural scenically secret spot  Mindoro Beach.


Mindoro Beach or also known as Playa de Oro Beach is located at the heart of Barangay Mindoro in Vigan City. It has a long stretch of semi-fine grayish sand without any construction occlusion. It's merely clear waters peeping from South China Sea, colorful boats of bigueno fishermen, a few bamboo huts, inner peace and generous sunshine to fill your heart and eyes.



TRAVEL TIPS | Commute, Expense; Getting Around
