Sulvec Beach in Ilocos Sur

SULVEC BEACH

The coastal town of Narvacan (one of the largest in terms of land area and population in the entire Ilocos Sur) would actually capture a traveller’s attention as it imposes a stunning seascape. One particular spot is a rocky beach and a grotto by the sea called Paraiso ni Juan at Sulvec Point. The striking beauty of these vistas would often prompt a traveller to drop by the area. I suggest though that you stay until sundown because the sunset view is just stunning at this side of Ilocos.

The grotto built by the sea was named after Captain Juan de Salcedo, whose fleet was shipwrecked in this area. Besides the sand dunes of Laoag and Paoay, this spot is also famed for being one of the places where the late Fernando Poe Jr shot his movie “Ang Panday”. TGoing to the grotto may require wading into the water and crossing some coralline rocksduring low tide as it is located several meters away from the beach line. The beach area (Sulvec Beach) is lined with some rock formations, and brown rocky sand. A few huts can be found making it an ideal place for picnic with friends and family.

As a person who loves sunsets, waiting for the sun as it immerses into the horizon at the end of the day, is the one thing I enjoyed the most. Just heart-melting! Read More: https://nojuanisanisland.com/2015/09/03/sulvec/

Narvacan is another coastal municipality in Ilocos Sur that is known for it’s famous rocky beach that is being compared to the beaches of Monterey, California. The name of the barangay we were situated this time is also called Sulvec and we are facing the Sulvec Beach of the Sulvec Bay. The waters started to stay calm as the air also calms itself off the coast. The rocky beach triggers some sentiments.

The grotto at the middle of the bay which is located several hundred meters away from the beach line brings peace to the ambiance this moment. As the waves turn to wavelets that gush themselves to the rocks of different sizes, the urge to see the sunset is slowly being alleviated with satisfaction and fulfillment. I have attempted to capture a sunset in Sulvec Bay ever since I was a child but fate did not grant me such desire. Those times, I still didn’t have a camera until 2010 came when I first handed my first ever digital camera (second hand) which was acquired from my first ever work at the age of 21 being a staff nurse.
