Surf town on Siargao's southeastern coast
A coastal town on Siargao island in the Surigao del Norte region, with the island's Sayak Airport nearby and boat access to surrounding islets. It is centered on a surfing reef break offshore.
General Luna long remained a quiet fishing town before surfing put Siargao on the map from the 1990s onward. The island was severely hit by Typhoon Rai in 2021 and rebuilt afterward.
