[Teacher's Blog] Calicoan Island: Where World-Class Waves Meet Natural Beauty
If you’re a student at NOVA online, you probably already know that all of our English teachers are from the Philippines.
Aside from improving your English skills, learning about the culture of English speakers from different parts of the world can give you fresh insights and make your communication even more natural.
Tucked away on the eastern coast of Samar, Calicoan Island is a destination where powerful waves meet untouched natural beauty. Known as the “Surfing Capital of the Visayas,” this hidden gem draws surfers from across the Philippines and beyond, thanks to its world-class breaks and the legendary Odyssey Waves. But as someone who calls this island home, I know it offers far more than surf. From pristine beaches to dramatic rock formations and a warm, welcoming community, Calicoan promises an unforgettable escape for adventurers and relaxation seekers alike.

If you're looking for the perfect combination of sun, sea, and adventure, Calicoan Island deserves a spot on your travel list. As my hometown, it holds a special place in my heart and is a destination I'm proud to share with others. With its rolling waves, stunning beaches, and welcoming local community, this hidden gem offers an unforgettable experience for both surfers and travelers. Whether you're catching your first wave or searching for your next great surf destination, Calicoan Island has something special to offer.
Surfing Capital of the Visayas
Known as the "Surfing Capital of the Visayas," Calicoan Island is tucked away on the eastern coast of Samar and has earned recognition among surfers for its powerful, world-class waves. Home to the legendary Odyssey Waves, the island attracts both local and international surfing enthusiasts seeking thrilling rides and breathtaking coastal scenery. Adding to its reputation, the island hosts the annual Calicoan Odyssey Waves Surfing Competition at ABCD Beach in Guiuan, Eastern Samar, every October. The event brings together some of the country's top surfers to compete in shortboard, longboard, and junior divisions.
Where Adventure Meets Serenity
While surfing remains its biggest draw, Calicoan Island offers much more than world-class waves. Visitors can explore pristine beaches, admire dramatic rock formations, and enjoy a tranquil atmosphere that highlights the island's natural beauty. This unique blend of adventure and serenity makes it an ideal destination for those seeking both excitement and relaxation.
Whether you're an experienced surfer chasing the perfect wave or a traveler in search of a unique island getaway, Calicoan Island promises an experience that is both exciting and inspiring. As someone who proudly calls this island home, I can say that its renowned surf breaks, breathtaking landscapes, and warm community truly showcase the best of what the Philippines has to offer.
