Puerto Galera

Spent last week in Puerto Galera, hugely enjoyable. I'd like to offer some tips.

 

Depending on what you are going to do will be the deciding factor on where you stay. Unless like myself you are o.k with a scooter. Roads are good, lots of switchbacks though so be careful on the boozing and riding. i.e. after an AM dive in Sabang, took the road to Tamaraw Falls thinking 20 minutes, nooooooooooo, 40 minutes of switchbacks but the roads are very good.

 

-going there to dive: stay in Sabang

-going there for relax beach chill everyday: stay at White beach

-solitude and beach: Talipanan

 

Nicer resorts are in Sabang. White beach right now is a bit of a construction zone. I'm not necessarily a budget traveler but when looking at a beach bungalow in Talipanan for 20$ a night, why not? Great fun PG highly recommended.
