Tigues Shore, located in Brgy. La Paz, Tibiao, Antique, is a small coastal area known for its large, rough boulders along the Sulu Sea. The shore is lined with coconut palms, talisay, and pandan trees, and features a notable centennial lunok near the water. Historically, the area was called Langawun due to the presence of flies attracted by dead bodies or fish during World War II, reflecting its somber past. Today, Tigues Shore is a popular spot for locals and tourists who enjoy swimming, sightseeing, and socializing, supporting the local economy through nearby sari-sari stores. The community and local government actively work together to maintain the shore’s cleanliness and protect its natural beauty. Efforts are underway to officially designate Tigues Shore as a tourist destination to enhance conservation and promote sustainable development in Tibiao.
