Trivia
Toledo is the site of the largest copper mine in the Philippines.

Most people travel to Toledo to visit its three beautiful beaches, which are located just nine kilometers to the south of the city. Known as Louie II, Ygay Beach and Villa Isanga Summer Place, these beaches are less touristy than many in the Philippines, making them good places to relax and soak up the sun for a few hours.

Although not the most exciting or visually stunning place in the Philippines, what Toledo lacks in entertainment it makes up for in tranquility. People come to snooze under sunshades, undisturbed by the pumping music from beach bars that spoil many other areas.
