Mahaybo Beach is one of my favourite secluded beach and surf spots. Located in Santa Fe, it's tucked away from the crowds with real paradise vibes-pristine white sand, crystal-clear waters, swaying palm trees and breathtaking sunsets.

The best way to reach it is via the "Ocean 9" Hotel, including a 150 PHP access fee but be prepared for unpaved roads leading up to the hotel.

Surf Level: Beginner - Intermediate

Surfboard Rental: Available at Ocean 9 but limited, best to bring
