Located along the coast near Laoag, the seemingly endless sand dunes sprawl south all the way to Paoay. Access is easiest to the La Paz stretch, only 15 minutes away from the city, whereas the Suba dunes near the Fort Ilocandia resort is where scenes from Mad Max and Born on the Fourth of July were shot. Fort Ilocandia rents out ATVs, but we much prefer the eco-friendly sandboarding tours with the folks from the LEAD Movement .
