Paoay Sand Dunes

Paoay, Ilocos Norte

Eighty-eight square kilometers of wind-sculpted dunes roll away from the shore at Paoay, among the largest in the Philippines. The dunes shift and reshape with the weather, and 4x4 rides churn through the peaks—but walking to the nearest ridge at sunrise and watching the shadows lengthen across the sand is the experience that stays with you.
