Davao Oriental

Located in the easternmost point of the Philippines, the "Coconut Capital of the Philippines" is marked by agricultural plantations, highland resorts, dive sites and less charted lakes and falls. See the Mount Hamiguitan Wildlife Sanctuary, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is home to the world's largest pygmy forest - among endangered flora and fauna; surf the waves of Dahican Beach, the province's surfing capital; visit the schools of living tradition and museums to learn about the province's rich heritage; or see the sunrise first in Pusan Point, where the sun's first rays dawn before anywhere else in the country.
