๐ข Terminal Information
Daet Airport (RPUD) serves the municipality of Daet in Camarines Norte province, Philippines, positioned as the aviation gateway to the country's premier surfing destination at Bagasbas Beach, recognized as the Philippines' first recorded surfing spot and ranked as the world's 61st surfing location. While commercial airline operations are limited, with passengers typically accessing the area via Naga Airport followed by 1.5-2 hour ground transport, the airport provides essential general aviation and charter flight services supporting the region's growing surf tourism industry.
The facility features basic terminal infrastructure accommodating small aircraft operations, serving visitors bound for Bagasbas Beach's consistent year-round Pacific Ocean waves that attract both beginner and professional surfers, particularly during the prime September-January season when waves are at their largest and most challenging. The airport supports the local tourism economy centered around affordable surfing lessons (โฑ400 per hour with instructor and board), uncrowded beach conditions, and the authentic Filipino surfing culture that has developed along this gray sand coastline.
Operational services include coordination with ground transportation to Bagasbas Beach (โฑ30-35 tricycle ride, 10-15 minutes), supporting charter flights for surfing groups and adventure tourists, and providing access to Camarines Norte's broader attractions beyond its world-renowned surfing beaches. The airport serves as an important link for the Bicol region's surf tourism development, enabling direct access to this rarely crowded destination where visitors can often enjoy private beach experiences while learning to surf in the Philippines' most historic surfing waters.
