Sariaya
One day is enough for Sariaya’s heritage sites and beach; arrive early, explore town on foot, then relax at a coastal resort.
Sariaya, a heritage town 119 km from Manila, offers over 150 declared historic buildings and a short stretch of black‑sand beaches. The compact centre is walkable, while the resorts are a quick tricycle ride away, making a single day sufficient for most visitors.
