Santa Monica Pier
228M+PR8, Unnamed Road, Santa Monica (Sapao), Surigao del Norte, Philippines
Santa Monica's rustic pier in Sapao functions as a northern gateway where fishing boats depart toward Bucas Grande and the open Pacific, giving travelers a working waterfront unlike polished resort marinas. Fresh seafood lands daily, and the horizon view helps orient you toward outer islands and long coastal rides west. It is ideal for stocking up on information about boat schedules. Visit early when fishers return with catch, ask politely before photographing people at work, and watch slippery planks during wet weather.
