Below the exact location is pinned on a map so it's easy to find.
What to Expect at Palm Tree Lookout SIargao
You will know immediately when you arrive at the coconut tree viewpoint. To the right of the hill you will see a wide cleared area where you can stop and admire the view. There are large concrete blocks here that act as a barrier, blocking the steep descent to the palm field below.
Of course, many coconut palms await you here. I believe it is a coconut farm with rows of trees planted in a beautiful pattern. I have visited this place a few times while exploring the island and always made a quick stop.
If you come early, you might be lucky and see a billowing sea of fog in the palm field. The early morning sun is also beautifully reflected in the tropical palm trees. In the distance you can see large hills covered with more tropical plants.

- Besuchen Sie früh. Auf diese Weise erhalten Sie das beste Licht und haben vielleicht das Glück, den Platz ganz für sich alleine zu haben. Außerdem liegt der Aussichtspunkt direkt an der Hauptstraße, die später am Tag etwas befahren wird.
- Bringen Sie eine Drohne mit, wenn Sie eine haben. Dies ist ein großartiger Ort zum Dröhnen, wie Sie wahrscheinlich erwarten können.
