Guiuan (Gee-wan) is a municipality located at the southernmost tip of Eastern Samar, where it faces the Pacific Ocean. The town is popular with surfers, who come here for choice waves. Because of this, many accommodations catering to surfers like Calicoan Villas and The Surf Camp have sprung up in the area, catering to every budget. But there is more to Guiuan than surfing. The town is rich with culture, history, and natural resources.  Many Filipinos haven't heard of Guiuan, but apparently, the area is a hit with foreigners. Here's a list of people who've come across the charming municipality, as well as some of the activities you can try out, should you wish to follow their trail.

 

Check out some sights to see in Guiuan in the gallery below. If they convince you to add this destination to your trip list, check out the full article (with more details on Guiuan's history and offerings, plus details on how to get there) on TravelBook.PH.

    Guiuan is not the only place in ES that's perfect for tourists. You can also try Borongan to San Poli. Lots of beaches and friendly people. It's perfect destination for backpackers who wants to experience a beauty that's never been really discovered by the world.
