Pasuquin is blessed with resources of special interest to the curious traveler.

One of the favorite stops of tourists is Puyupuyan Beach. Puyupuyan in Ilocano means 'where the wind blows' and true enough, a refreshing breeze is a constant feature of this beautiful beach. Near the powdery beach broods a stone watchtower, a relic from bygone days when pirates would perennially swoop down on the coastal communities.

Roadside stalls sell by the kilo what may be the finest rock salt in the Philippines. Pipes carry salt water to the cooking vats behind the stalls. Entire families are engaged in salt making in the town.

Visit the waterfall at the borders of San Juan and Surong. The waterfall's main cascade drops from a height of about a hundred feet into a deep. An outcropping of rock ideal for diving lies at the center of the pool.

A trip to Pasuquin will not be complete without visiting the town plaza and the 17 th century ruins of its old Roman Catholic church.
