A few hours south of all the attractions in Manila is the UNESCO-protected area of Puerto Galera and the unforgettable Puerto Galera Bay. The unique ecosystem that exists in the bay makes it a gem for scientists and a treat for tourists.
The beach makes for great swimming and snorkeling along the coral reefs, as well as diving and sailing in deeper water to observe the marine life in the area. Casual beach-goers enjoy the waterfront villas at the Out of the Blue Resort . If you are an avid diver the Badladz Dive Resort can arrange sea turtle and marine life dive trips.
Puerto Galera Bay is an ideal beach that is secluded and scenic, with enough beachfront for lounging, yet is large enough for traditional watersports. Due to the historical significance of the beach area, plan some extra time to hike in the area and explore the ancient city.
