"NIPA
BEACH RESORT CURRIMAO"
The Municipality of
Currimao is located in the southwestern portion of the province of Ilocos Norte
along the vast shorelines of the China Sea. It is bounded in the North by the
town of Paoay, on the east by Batac, on the south by Pinili and Badoc, and on
the west by China Sea. It is approximately 465 kilometers northwest of Manila
and about 27 kilometers from Laoag City.
Currimao, small as it
may seen, is blessed with several tourist attractions. These include the Gaang
Beach Cove with its wide expanse of unpolluted beaches and tranquil waters which
is a by-word of picnickers and beach lovers. It boasts also of beach resorts
such as D'Coral Beach Resort and Hotel, the Old Fisherman's Beach Resort which
cater to foreign as well as local tourists, and the D & D Girls Scout Beach
Camp, the center of provincial and regional Girls Scouts camping and outdoor
activities. The Pangil Beach Resort is where government agency outings and
meetings are frequently held.
Currimao's
latest tourist attraction is the Taiwanese-run Nipa Beach Resort in Barangay
Salugan which caters mostly to Chinese and local tourists. A number of cottages
have been constructed within the resort to accommodate its guests. It has its
own restaurant, swimming pool, a well-designed and beautifully landscaped
compound, and access to a nearby white sand beach. The sixteen photographs shown
below were all taken at the Nipa Beach Resort.
