Land surveying and La Union
La Union's coast has beach resorts in San Juan and neighboring towns. After the Boracay crackdown, DENR served notices of violation on resorts in the Ilocos region in 2018, including in San Juan, and owners of about 300 beach resorts in four Ilocos provinces agreed to clean up their waterfronts.
For you this means the shoreline is part of the survey brief: the Water Code sets 3, 20 or 40 meters, and wider distances have been reported on some resort coasts (30 meters in Pagudpud), so confirm which applies.
Common problems in La Union
- Resorts in San Juan: Resorts in San Juan were among those served notices of violation in 2018. A relocation survey places the high-tide line, the lot corners and the buildings on one plan.
- Beachfront titling in San Juan: The Water Code reserves a strip along the shore for public use (Art. 51). A titling survey of a beach lot needs to show clearly where the titled area ends and the foreshore begins, and it is advisable to confirm with DENR.
- No-build lines up the Ilocos coast: In neighboring Ilocos Norte, resorts in Pagudpud were found encroaching a 30-meter no-build zone. For a La Union beach lot, it is advisable to ask DENR which distance applies before drawing a building line.
- Resort lots after the Ilocos clean-up: Owners of about 300 resorts across four Ilocos provinces agreed to clean up their waterfronts. A buyer of a La Union resort lot gains from a survey that shows where buildings stand against the shoreline.

Frequently asked questions in La Union
Can I build right at the beach in San Juan, La Union?+
Not on the shore itself. The Water Code reserves a public-use strip along the shore; the width depends on classification, and DENR has enforced wider no-build distances on resort coasts. A Geodetic Engineer can show how far your lot's building line sits from the water, and it is advisable to confirm the distance with DENR.
Why did resorts in La Union get notices of violation?+
DENR served notices across the Ilocos region after the Boracay clean-up over environmental violations along the coast, and San Juan was among the places named. A survey by a Geodetic Engineer helps you see whether any part of your lot is exposed to the same issue.
