OTHER BEACHES in PUERTO GALERA (tabinay)

In almost every bay with a beach that's at all useable, you'll find cottages for local and foreign tourists. To the east, resorts have sprung up at Sabang Beach, Small La Laguna Beach and Big La Laguna Beach. To the south, they go as far as Tabinay Beach. To the west, Talipanan Beach development has almost reached its limit. While the main beaches have electricity, considering the number of power failures, it's a good idea to have a torch handy.

Beaches just outside Puerto Galera, such as Balete Beach and Hondura Beach, are rather undeveloped and may disappoint some pampered beachlovers. Most travelers prefer the ones a few km farther away.

Sabang is a more 'happening' place for visitor, especially after dark, and it might not be everybody's scene. It can get very hectic and loud at night around the discos and bars. Some restaurants have been built on sites close to the water and the remaining beach is almost completely blocked by outrigger boats. A hill path takes you through a palm grove and over a grassy meadow to Escarceo Point, two km east of Sabang. There you can go to the top of the 14m high lighthouse where you can get a gorgeous view, especially at sunrise and sunset.

There is also some action to be found on Small La Laguna Beach, although it is maybe a bit more relaxed. The beach itself is not particularly impressive. The most popular activities during the day are snorkeling and diving. many travelers prefer to stay overnight at Small La Laguna Beach, or just spend the days there, and go out at night at the nearby Sabang Beach.

At Big La Laguna Beach there's a lot of activity. Some of the cottages here are packed close together, but the coral reef is worth seeing and is good for snorkeling.
