Daet
One day is enough for Daet: surf Bagasbas Beach in the morning, visit the Old Daet Cathedral and Rizal Monument, then grab a quick meal before heading back.
Daet is a small provincial capital with a surf‑friendly beach, a few historic sites and a compact town centre. All main sights are within walking distance, so a half‑day to full‑day visit covers the highlights. Overnight stays are only needed if you want beach time at sunset or to explore nearby islands.
