Saud Beach. It was unfortunate that I didn't get to swim in this gorgeous beach because we had a tour that day.
Kabigan Falls.
Patapat Viaduct. Mang Arnel, the tour guide, said that back in the day, this road only had one lane, so the vehicles coming from both sides had to take turns. Four vehicles were permitted to pass alternately from each side, so they said "apat, apat" thus the name Patapat. :)
Agua Grande. It features a mini-hydroelectric power plant.
Timmangtang Rock.
Bantay Abot Cave.
Blue Lagoon.

Pagudpud Marker. This was included in the tour itinerary. Visitors had to play patintero with passing vehicles if they wanted to take a photo under the marker, which they often did.
Bangui Windmills. My favorite part of the Pagudpud leg of the Ilocandia tour!
Kapurpurawan Rock Formation. This was made of limestone.
Cape Bojeador Lighthouse. It is a cultural heritage structure established during the Spanish colonial times. It is the highest-elevated lighthouse in the Philippines. (Source: Wikipedia)
Like all other old lighthouses, the place is said to be haunted.

Pagudpud Tour Guide. Mang Arnel is the most sought-after tour guide in Pagudpud, thanks to a story told by travel blogger Chyng Reyes about Mang Arnel's kindness. Mang Arnel shared that he already had clients lined up for April as early as October. Kindness really doesn't go unrewarded. :)
