Colili Point (Ilocos Norte)

Colili Point is a remote, dune-adjacent sandy beach launch in Ilocos Norte, with generally clean water and big-beach access. The launch is described as a wide sandy area at the edge of the Paoay Sand Dunes, with a soft-sand caution if you drive too far toward the waterline. Wind sports are centered on the Amihan season. Provided wind data points to best months from November through April, with NW as the primary best direction and steady wind conditions reported during that period. Typical on-site wind strength is given as roughly 15–25 knots, supporting wave-focused kitesurfing and (for more experienced sailors) wave windsurfing in the winter monsoon months. For kitesurfing, the spot is characterized as a wave destination with side-shore tendencies when the North monsoon shifts. Recommended kite sizes are listed around 7–12 m², and the skill level is given as intermediate. Surfing is also possible when swell is right: the break is described as sandbar/peeling with moderate power, and the working swell window is provided as about 1.0–2.5 m from W–NW, with all-tides conditions mentioned. Safety planning is important here because of remoteness and variable conditions. Hazards highlighted include soft sand when driving and the possibility of moderate longshore currents that can become stronger as swell increases. Local guidance emphasizes bringing all necessary food and water, using a 4x4/tire-pressure strategy for dunes access, and avoiding getting too close to the beach where sand can soften.
