Saud Beach in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte, is known for its long stretch of white sand and clear water on the northern coast of Luzon. Away from the crowds of more commercialised resorts, it has a quieter, more open feel that makes it a favourite subject for photographers.
This photograph captures Saud in a quieter mood, with the focus on the beach itself rather than the usual bright, postcard colours. Moments like this show another side of Pagudpud — calm, spacious and unhurried.
The photograph in this post is from a 2013 trip to Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte.
