Sabang Beach is also a great place to hang out and enjoy the nightlife and entertainment after a fun-filled day in the sun.

Since this is the second most popular tourist attraction as I’ve said, this area has a lot of hotels, restaurants, shops, spas, a floating bar, and several girly bars available for the wild ones. Easy to say that the fun for some starts when the sun goes down in Sabang Beach.

Nightlife in Sabang goes late into the night. You’ll find most of the bars open until 12 am or 2 am and Big Apple stays open 24 hours a day. So if you want to party all night this place will not disappoint you.

Big La Laguna Beach is located fifteen minutes away from Sabang Beach. This is also one of the top tourist destination beaches in Puerto Galera as well. This is a perfect place to take a day trip as some of the tourists also call Big La Laguna “ Small Boracay “ because of the white sand covered with crystal clear water.

Minolo Cove

If you want a more private location, you can go to Minolo Cove. This is the place where you can have time for yourself or with your special loved ones.
