2025 Santa Ana Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

The town of Sta. Ana, a special economic zone bustling with modern industrial establishments and blessed with beautiful coastline, governs Palaui Island, which is located on the northeastern tip of mainland Luzon. Despite the changes, Sta. Ana remains rural and laid-back, with contrasting characteristics that add to its mystique. But it's Palaui, the island off Sta. Ana's coast, that has it all: white sand beaches and panoramic coves, a century-old lighthouse, secret waterfalls, and nice people, all set in a gorgeous ragged terrain surrounded by big waves and echoing wind. Palaui Island is a location shaped by the wind, shaped by the waves, and nourished by the passage of time. Explore and feel the mysticism of Palaui Island by discovering the distinct charm of its scenic ragged landscape; chorus with the wailing sound of its giant waves; and discover the peculiar charm of its scenic ragged terrain. #beautifulsunsets#naturalwonders#summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Anguib Beach is one of Santa Ana Cagayan Valley's greatest beaches. This beach with powdery fine sand and green waters, located at the Philippines' northeastern edge, is one of the key highlights of Cagayan Valley experiences. You can also take the renowned Cagayan island-hopping day tour, which includes stops at other notable landmarks on adjacent Palaui Island, such as the Cape Engao Lighthouse. A day excursion to Palaui Island is a must-do side trip because it allows you to see not only Anguib Beach but also gorgeous terrains, a majestic lighthouse, and other beaches. #bestislandtraveltowns#summervacation#beachvacation#urbanexplorer

Road trip (12 hours trip by car from manila) plus sea trip(20mins boat ride) plus hiking (30-45mins) equals reaching the Cape Engaño Lighthouse, a historic lighthouse located at the Palaui Island in the town of Santa Ana, the province of Cagayan, Philippines, and it is located at the northernmost part of Luzon Island and situated atop the summit of a hill, 92 meters above sea level, the lighthouse provides a 360-degree view of Babuyan Island and the Dos Hermanas Island on the North, Pacific Ocean on the West and Engaño cove on the East. No wonder this area is famous more when they held here the Survivor show, it requires high stamina, and fear of sea waves, just to go to this place but worth the travel. It maybe a local tourist spot to many, but this is one of my memorable trip. Trivia: This lighthouse was built during the Spanish Colonial Era and first lit on December 30, 1892. #urbanexplorer #roadtrip #roadtrips #hiking #hikingtrails #philippinestravel #philippinestrip #historicculture #urbanexplorer

A place to relax 😍😍😍

Getting There - We just ride motorcycle and we travel about 24 hrs. more from Manila to Buscalan to Sta. Ana . Waze - Nangaramoan Beach Resort Sta. Ana Cagayan Valley. Attractions - Swimming, sight seeing, white sand and beautiful sunset with beautiful caves. Hotels - No need for hotel you can bring your tent or just Food & Restaurants - There is small grocery store outside the premices or just bring foods before you go. When I was a young kid I dreamed of travelling and one of my #2023travelwish is JAPAN. Why? Beacuse I really want to learn their culture and I want to know if the gossips I've been watching is true! Are people in Japan is respectful? How they manage to do that? Many thoughts in my mind that I want to know.

One of the memorable experience i have. Big waves along going to this area but as they always say difficult adventures/road often lead to beautiful destinations... Breath taking views of Cape Engano Lighthouse or also known as Faro de Cabo Engano landscapes. Truly Gods creation is amazing 🙏❤️ #bucketlistunlocked #tothenorthadventures #pilipinaskongmahal
