If I were to compare the vibe in Liwliwa with another famous surfing spot which is San Juan, La Union, the vibe here is more laid back and chill than the latter. The shores are wider since most of the resorts are located at an ideal distance from the beach. This gives the tourists a wider beach shore to enjoy. Right now given the boost of popularity of Liwliwa, more aesthetically designed resorts and accommodation options have been constructed over the years, giving now the tourists more choices for comfortability and flexibility depending on their budget. I visited this beach before with a few close friends who were my work mates at that time. We just stayed overnight and rented a simple kubo hut for us to stay.

The advantage of having guys in the group is that there's someone willing to help set-up a bonfire. Another group of tourists also helped us with it. So we just chilled by the beach with a bottle of beer in our hands. If I remember it right, this was the first time that I get to travel with my now very close friends Jec and Jam, that is not part of a company event. I guess our friendship developed more over time as we continued to travel together. Kareen, our bunso was also with us which made this trip much more fun.
