To the East: resorts have sprung up at Sabang Beach, Small La Laguna and Big La Laguna Beach. To the South: the Tabinay Beach. To the West: White Beach and Talipanan Beach has almost reach its limit. ( check out Beaches description on the left side for details>) |
| Pto. Galera Beaches: |
| Sabang Beaches: A "Happening place" for the visitor, especially after dark and it might not be everybody's scene if you want to relax and unwind. @ Look out point: the 14m high Lighthouse where you can get gorgeous view of sunrise and sunset. Small La Laguna Beach: a nearby beach although maybe a bit more relaxed the beach itself is not particularly impressive. @ Popular for Diving and snorkelling. Big La Laguna Beach: Here there's a lot of activity. Some of the cottages are packed close together, but the Coral Reef is worth seeing and is good for snorkelling. White Beaches: The popular and busiest among the beaches between San Isidro and Talipanan Point. adjoining beaches like Aninuan and Talipanan are extremely quiet. However all of them are good bathing beaches although snorkelling is not particularly interesting. Ballete Beach, Long Beach Halige Beach: Good foir snorkelling but can be dangerous for swimmers. |
