What is Sabang Beach Puerto Galera in September? Is it worth going there at this time of the year or is there a better time to go? This is often a question many of our guests ask when planning their vacation to this wonderful island of Mindoro.
Sabang Beach in September
So, you want to come to Puerto Galera? Why not?
Tropical paradise is hard to resist especially when it can be found so close to Manila, the largest Metropolitan city in the Philippines.
There are 3 main tourist centers in the province of Puerto Galera. They are Puerto Galera town, White Beach & Sabang. They attract tourists from all over the Philippines and around the world. There is an abundance of shops, restaurants, bars, tourist adventures, scuba diving and, of course, Puerto Galera Nightlife.
Puerto Galera town is the location of BADLADZ Beach & Dive Resort and we chose this location because it really is the Center of the FUN. We are 15 minutes from White Beach, 15 minutes from Sabang, 15 minutes from Puerto Galera Activities.
Puerto Galera Nightlife
If the nightlife is what you seek, then it doesn’t matter what time of the year you come to Puerto Galera. Whether it’s raining hard or clear and peaceful, you’ll be able to hit the bars every night of the week as they are open 7 days a week. Here you can find over 10 girly bars lining the beach in Sabang and within the mix a handful of restaurants, karaoke, and bars.
Sabang is a tightly packed concentration of resorts, hotels restaurants & bars along the water and is the center of the 24 hour party in the province of Puerto Galera. This part of the island is the best option for nightlife on the island. If a night of bar hopping and drinking is what you’re looking for, this is the place to do it.
You can also visit the Floating Bars just off the boardwalk in the bay. You can access the floating bars by a small taxi boat making trips dropping and picking up customers until they close around 9 pm every day.
Puerto Galera in September
One of the great things about the Philippines is that you can come here at any time of the year and have an absolute blast. Throughout the year, the weather is warm. While there are slight seasonal fluctuations, it is a wonderful place to be, regardless of what month it is.
Diving in Puerto Galera
For those seeking world-renowned diving in the Verde Island Passage, it is also great any time of the year. However, it’s better during September (and around that time). The water is warmer, clearer and there are fewer crowds which means you will have better opportunities to not only dive more and get some amazing footage of your dives; but also not having other divers in your shots at the same time. July, August, and September are considered typhoon months, but hey, the typhoons don’t follow the calendar. However, since it’s ‘typhoon season’, people tend to avoid the Philippines.
This means accommodation is going to be easier to find and chances are you may be able to get a discounted room compared to booking during the high season which tends to be more expensive. It will be cheaper and it’s going to be better if you want to make deals during these months. For scuba diving, the water will be warmer and you’ll have the ocean largely to yourself.
If you come during December, the water is around 27 or 28 degrees Celsius. During high season, it can get as cold as 23 or 24 degrees Celsius. While Sabang Beach in September or July & August, the water is 30 or 31 degrees Celsius. Along with the increase in water temperature at Sabang Beach, water is also clearer. If you’re coming for diving, then you’ll see a lot more during the summer months. The ocean visibility is a lot better during the low-season months so if you’re looking for the best conditions for taking macro photography and get some great video footage.
The low season will actually be in your favor for these types of things compared to the high season’s conditions.
Puerto Galera Low Season
Most people come during high season since that’s the only time they can get holidays off. If you can arrange a trip to Puerto Galera during the summer months (low-season), there’ll be fewer crowds, it’ll be cheaper and the activities (like the diving!) will be better. Stay at a world-class resort and have all of the benefits of everything I just described, your own semi-private beach steps from your room, a swimming pool steps away from the beach, and an amazing international restaurant all in one place; come stay with us at BADLADZ Beach & Dive Resort.
