Santa Ana is a municipality in the Philippine province of Cagayan and is located in the extreme northeast of the province. In 2015 it had 32,906 inhabitants. Originally the area was inhabited exclusively by Negritos . Only at the end of the 19th century did other peoples find a home here. In 1949 Santa Ana got the status of a township.
In the west there are long white beaches and a large rice-growing area. The forest is only very limited here due to the ongoing deforestation. In the east, on the other hand, the land falls more steeply into the water and is more forested. The municipality also includes the large island of Palaui in the north and a lighthouse. Most of the population lives from agriculture, the timber industry and fishing.
