Answer 3

The best surf spot in Catanduanes is Puraran. The place rivals Siargao and Baler, and has hosted international competitions. Lots of inexpensive accommodation dot the place. I can't remember exactly the name of the place we stayed in - - -it is made of native materials and the toilet and showers are in a separate structure that is shared by all the guests.

The place is lovely in a sense - - - if you do not look for 5-star comforts.

Go ahead, you will most definitely find choices of inexpensive accommodation even if you don't pre-book.

By the way, Catanduanes is one of my favorite places. I rank it alongside the natural beauty of Batanes and Palawan.
