Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, affordable, recommended resorts and hotels (including inns, guesthouses, pension houses, lodges, hostels, condotels, bed and breakfast and other cheap accommodations), commuting guides, routes (sometimes street maps and GPS coordinates/waypoints) and driving directions to answer "how to get there" questions, information and tips on tourism, budget travel and living in Philippines, Exotic Asia and beyond!
Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.
More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!
Tagged as a "pristine beach" in Sta. Maria town of Ilocos Sur, just near the UNESCO World Heritage Site Church of Sta. Maria, is a stretch of fine brownish gray sand beach visible along the national highway where Tutubi took a quick, drive-by picture of the place.
Why is it called Suso Beach?
a drive-by picture of Suso beach in Sta. Maria at around noon...notice the hill with signs of quarrying or landslide?
To answer the question asked earlier, it's probably because it's part of Barangay Suso, not anything dirty you have in mind. There's also Nalvo Beach nearby but Tutubi has no time to look for it, probably next time but not in the near future.
It's not anywhere near pristine as some locals claim but Tutubi would love to have a vacation house near a nice beach far away from it all. No sighting of beach resorts nor house and properties for sale...it's too far from Manila for Tutubi though :P

thepinaysolobackpacker, honestly, i don't dislike gray or black sand as long as it's not uncomfortable to my bare feet...as long as sand's fine, it's fine :P
bakit tinawag na suso beach dahil sa bundok na nasa picture ngayon which is currently quarried by the mayor of sta. maria, ilocos sur has a shaped of a woman's breasts..how do i know it dahil lumaki ako dyan sa baryong yan bago ako nag migrate sa states..
