Things to do nearby
General Luna is Siargao's main hub and Cloud 9's home base — where surf schools, coworking cafés, and most of the island's nomad and surfer population actually live, versus the island's more scattered outer barangays.
Tourism Road / Back Road — restaurant and bar strip, most accommodation, nomad hub
Cloud 9 — surf-break area, small cluster of stays, best for dedicated surfers
Santa Fe — relaxed, residential, still local but growing with nomads
Getting around
A scooter is the standard way to get around General Luna and the island; Sayak (Siargao) airport to town is about 45-60 minutes by van or tricycle, with limited paved roads.
🏝 Nomad visa: yes — Digital Nomad Visa (EO 86), ~$2,000/mo, rollout still pending
Passport-index data — rules change; verify with official sources before booking.
