Santa Ana

Cagayan, Philippines

Santa Ana is a coastal town at the northeastern tip of Luzon in Cagayan province, facing both the Babuyan Channel and the Philippine Sea.

It is known for wide stretches of white-sand beaches such as Anguib and Nangaramoan, the offshore beauty of Palaui Island with its scenic coves and old Cape Engaño Lighthouse, and mangrove areas, rivers, and waterfalls that support eco‑tourism activities like hiking, snorkeling, and firefly watching.

The municipality has a relatively small population spread over a large rural area, with livelihoods centered on fishing, agriculture, and services connected to tourism and the nearby special economic zone at Port Irene. Historically a small settlement once called Palawig, it became a separate municipality in 1949 and today is promoted as a gateway to the Babuyan Islands and a weekend nature destination for travelers seeking a quieter, less developed coastal environment in northern Philippines.
