ZAMBOANGA DEL SUR

Zamboanga del Sur


Natural Tourist Attractions







Lapuyan Falls
The favorite haunt of the fair Subanen maidens of Sitio Baga and all its neighboring areas, usual meeting place with many a young country swain in some secluded cavern beneath the rocky forest lane.




Lakewood
Some 15 km. from Brgy. Tubod is a beautiful mountain lake, on the banks of which is located the town of Lakewood, a quiet and lovely place where the air is heavy with the scent of wild champakas and the fragrance of a thousand nameless herons.



Lake Dasay
The second largest mountain lake in the province, located in the town of San Miguel. Its luscious mouth is parted like the smile of a country damsel yet silent fury lurks beneath its innocent-looking waters.
Lakes are interesting tourist attractions because they are quite uncommon. These bodies of water cannot be found in every town unlike rivers or streams. They are also quite mysterious because lakes are calm and serene unlike seas and oceans, which can become violent depending on the weather.





Dao-Dao Islands
A big island has an area of 1.1057 hectares and is a 7-10 minute ride by motorboat from the seaport. It has artificial coral reefs and is ideal for swimming, boating and fishing. A smaller, still underdeveloped, island is submerged during high tide and also ideal for swimming and fishing.









White Beach
A stretch of white sand beach just five minutes via motorboat southeast of the seaport. Clear, deep, blue waters (even at low tide) are ideal for swimming and diving.




Pulacan Falls
Found in the town of Labangan, 12 kms. from Pagadian City, and covering an area of 400 square meters. It is the source of water for the Labangan irrigation system. Two kilometers from the area is the 134-hectare Home Defense Center. The falls can be reached easily by any motor vehicle. With the opening of the PADAP road, Pulacan Falls became a beautiful camping and picinic site. It now has a permanent Boy and Girl Scout site with facilities and has been the location of regional and provincial jamborees.


  
Bomba Beach
Located in barangay Bomba, about 2 kms. from Pagadian proper, available for fishing and swimming with a bomba bridge and shed as well as a coral reef. Under study for development.
Saving a few bucks is another advantage to spending time in this location. Since it's close to the city proper, you don't have to spend a lot of money on transportation. Food will also be relatively cheap since affordable restaurants and the local market are only a few kilometers away.








Mt. Susong Dalaga
Found in barangay Lourdes, 32 kms. from Pagadian proper and 10 kms. from the barangay center, Susong Dalaga is a semi-perfect cone with good forest cover. It can be reached by horseback.







Lourdes Waterfalls
Also located at barangay Lourdes, about 32 kms. from Pagadian proper. Ideal for bathing and feel the nature..)))))))
