Surfing is a great activity to relieve stress and to get your adrenaline pumping. Thankfully, the Philippines is blessed with excellent surf spots, and some of them are even near Metro Manila!
Like with any other getaway, choosing the right place to stay is half of what makes the trip a memorable one. Here's Travelbook.ph's list of three hip accommodations in the top surf spots in the country.
