After enjoying the Paoay Sand Dunes, our next stop was a beautiful fresh water inland lake called Paoay Lake. It is located 3 kilometers away from the sea in Suba.

Legend has it that it was the site of a prosperous barangay called San Juan de Sahagun (Saint John of Sahagun). The materialism of its people has angered God so He sent an earthquake that sank the town.
On the shores of the lake lies a mansion that belongs to the Marcoses called Malacañang of the North. Adjacent to the mansion is the Paoay Golf Course. The Lake is also a famous tourist destination in Ilocos Norte. A famous fish aquaculture and a sports complex.
