Calicoan Island Guiuan Eastern Samar
Posted on February 24, 2010 by Butchoi Seso
Another surfing paradise is Calicoan Island, Samar. Bounded by the Pacific Ocean on the east and Leyte Gulf on the west, Calicoan Island is Samarâbest-kept secret. Calicoan is among the numerous islands and islets that circle Guiuan, a town at the southernmost tip of Samar. With its rugged landscape, virgin tropical forests, unspoiled white sand beaches, crystal clear water and surf waves, Calicoan is a must-see for the adventurous surfer.

Its Surf Camp is a tranquil tropical getaway located in ABCD Beach, Calicoan Island’s prime surfing area. Surf Camp is a resort on the island that faces the Pacific Ocean. On the other hand, ABCD Beach has both left-hand and right-hand waves. Surfing season is from April to November. Summer months are ideal for learners with gentle 2 to 3 foot waves while latter months offer bigger and more challenging waves. Calicoan Island is just an hour away from my hometown of Borongan, Eastern Samar.
