WATCH: Saving Sea Turtles, Sustainability + More in San Juan, La Union
Go beyond surfing at the Surfing Capital of the North.
(SPOT.ph) San Juan in La Union is known as the Surfing Capital of the North. But this surf town is more than that. It's also home to people dedicated to sustainability and responsible tourism.
Get to know more about this through our interviews with Carlos Tamayo of Project CURMA, a sea turtle conservation project; Toby Tamayo of Lotus Valley Farm and Hilom Farm, a model of agroforestry; and the people behind Clean Beach, a local cafe and restaurant promoting beach cleanliness. We also get up close and personal with local business owners, such as Enrique de Dios of Ramenrique, Bebo Barwani of Bebo's Bombay Burritos; and Tep and Orel of bike shop Geezer's. This feature is an in-depth look at La Union's diverse offerings and the passionate individuals contributing to its sustainable and communal identity.
