Surfing in Aurora

Aurora is a paradise for surfers, with its long Pacific coastline exposed to the Pacific Ocean. The sport was made famous in the Province by the classic film Apocalypse Now. The scene in which U.S. soldiers are surfing was filmed here, and the production crew left behind surfboards for the locals to use. The locals of Baler claim that the surf is sometimes so huge that they could hear it all the way from the provincial capitol building, some 1.5 km away from the coast.
There are numerous surfing points in Aurora, but the municipality of Baler offers most of the more accessible surfing areas with good accommodations.

Cemento Beach

The whole stretch of Cemento Beach is full of white sand, seashells, and crushed corals. From October to February, waves tower up to 14 feet high which is excellent for challenging surfing-much enjoyed by surfing experts from Australia, Japan and other European countries.
