Camarines Norte is a province located in the Bicol region in Luzon of the Philippines. Its capital is Daet. The province borders Quezon to the west, Camarines Sur to the south, and the Philippine Sea to the north.

The population of Camarines Norte in the 2015 census was 583,313 people, with a density of 250 inhabitants per square kilometer or 650 inhabitants per square mile.

The majority of the population are followers of Roman Catholic church with 93%^{[citation needed]} of the population adherence, while the rest of the people’s faith is divided by several Christian groups such as Aglipayan Church, Iglesia ni Cristo (INC), Baptists, Methodists, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Seventh-day Adventist, other Christians and also Muslims which demographic is mostly traced to Mindanao.

Coastal Bikol (Central Bikol variant) is the major language spoken in the province (specifically the southern half), while Tagalog speakers form the majority in the north. English is widely understood and used in businesses and education.

The province’s economy largely depends on agriculture, with grain crops, vegetables, coconuts, rootcrops and fruits as its main products.

The four major manufacturing and processing industries in the province are mining (particularly gold and iron ore), jewelry craft, pineapple and coconut industry.

The province has an international seaport located at Barangay Osmeña, Jose Panganiban town servicing one of its major industries, Pan Century Surfactants. The seaport is approximately 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the town proper and an hour ride to the capital town of Daet.

The province has 13 fishing ports in the coastal municipalities and one feeder airport in Bagasbas, Daet. Read More: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camarines_Norte

Camarines Norte is virtually underrated and rarely visited by most travelers. The province hides its spectacular secrets of undiscovered caves, exquisite and unspoiled postcard-perfect beaches and rich coral gardens. The province is also home to promising dive sites and world-class surfing, elegant looking bays that open into the Pacific, misty mountains and charming towns throbbing with Bicolano warmth and hospitality.

Nothing could be closer to the warmth of summer than a nice beach to walk on, and the province of Camarines Norte is lucky enough to have not only one but a bundle.

Take for instance the now nationally-renown Bagasbas beach in Daet, about 45km from the fishing town of Mambulao.

Its amazing waves that roll while they hum a siren’s melody and its sand that is almost faultless are drawing more and more tourists from many places around the country every summer, a number of them young board surfers and the adventurous.

And mind you, it has begun to attract foreign bathers and surfers, too, who would love to challenge the beasts that roar inside its white-crested, buffeting waves. Read More: http://mambulaoansworldwidebuzz.blogspot.com/2012/03/photo-essay-beaches-to-walk-on-this.html
