Tourism

Currimao, small as it may seen, is blessed with several tourist attractions. These include the Gaang Beach Cove with its wide expanse of unpolluted beaches and tranquil waters which is a by-word of picnickers and beach lovers.

 

It boasts also of beach resorts such as D'Coral Beach Resort and Hotel and the Old Fisherman's Beach Resort which cater to foreign as well as local tourists.
It also includes D & D Girls Scout Beach Camp, the center of provincial and regional Girls Scouts camping and outdoor activities, Currimao Christian Conference Grounds where religious conferences and seminars are often held and also Pangil Beach Resort where government agency outings and meetings are frequently held. The latest addition is Nipa Beach Resort which caters mostly to foreigners.

In the fishing town of Currimao, fishermen still use the traditional three-km fishnets and sing the popular Ilocano song "Pamulinawen" to help coordinate net laying and crucial fishing efforts. The Eastern Telecoms Currimao Cable station, built in 1976, can also be found here. Last year, it was converted into a museum. At the foot of the Marcos Bridge is the Tobacco Monopoly Marker. This landmark was constructed to serve as a memorial for the lifting of the Tobacco Monopoly of 1872-1881.
