Board culture off the water

Surf skating in Malinao

The road around Malinao and Secret Beach has become a popular local place for surf skating and skateboarding, especially later in the day. It is a simple, social side of Siargao's board culture and an easy change of pace from surfing or island hopping.

Why Malinao

The area has become known among locals and visitors as a place to ride surf skates and longboards on the road near Secret Beach.

When to go

Late afternoon is a popular time because the day is cooler and people often stay around for sunset.

What to expect

This is more of a relaxed local gathering spot than a formal attraction, which is part of the appeal.

Getting there

Malinao is south of central General Luna. Guests who rent a motorbike can combine the area with a broader ride around the south side of the municipality.
