Puerto Galera, Sabang Beach and The White Beach

Puerto Galera is located in Mindoro, about 130 km or 81 miles south of Metro Manila, and it takes about six to seven hours by bus and ferry to get there. See travel direction map at the map site here. The island has a population of 30.035 according to National Statistic Office (NSO), and it's one of the Philippines most popular diving and scuba diving destinations in the country. The Puerto Galera Bay has many beaches, and it is listed by THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BAYS IN THE WORLD CLUB. That's the main reason why we went there. The most popular beaches are Sabang Beach, and Puerto Galera White Beach. Sabang Beach is most popular among foreign tourists, while The White Beach is most popular among local tourists. Along the beaches there are  lots of clubs, restaurants and bars which are open until 2 or 3 AM. Sabang Beach has one restaurant open 24 hours. At The White Beach they usually close earlier. There are very few banks near the beaches, and it is strongly recommended that travelers bring cash.Don't take it for granted that the ATM machines there will accept all kind of ATM cards.

  5. Both of them are great and beautiful. Do they have a pool? Looks like there are lots of houses near the beach. By the way thanks for the information about the ATM, I will keep it in my mind once we got a chance to go there!

    1. We didn't see any pools along the beaches, and most of the houses are hotels, restaurants and bars.

    1. Hi, a tricycle ride from White Beach to Sabang takes about 40 minutes, and the price is about PHP 400. That's what we paid, but we were four persons.
