When looking up information on where to stay and what to do during your vacation on the island. You will usually discover three major areas that contain the highest concentration of travelers to the island and also the most Puerto Galera accommodations. Below, I will go over the top three tourist destinations on the island of Mindoro. This will give you some great ideas on how you can really get the most from your next visit to this tropical paradise.
Sabang Beach
Located 30 minutes from BALATERO Pier, the major port of arrival to Puerto Galera island for tourists. Sabang Beach is a short stretch of sand containing over 40 different scuba diving shops and a very international selection of Restaurants & Bars. All concentrated in the towns center strip. All this concentration of establishments, however, comes with its own set of problems as well, constant noise & congestion. A recent regulated clean-up project due to the encompassing businesses encroaching on the coastline has sadly buried the beach under a concrete boardwalk but the result has turned out acceptably well.
However, If some Puerto Galera nightlife and entertainment is what you are looking for. You have definitely come to the right place. With a majority of bars staying open into the early morning hours, and the sheer concentration of girly bars found here. The nightlife found on Sabang beach is the best you will find on the island of Mindoro.
White Beach
Another popular tourist destination found here on the island is known as White Beach. A beautiful white sandy beach just 20 minutes from the main arrival port BALATERO Pier. This is a great stretch of sand that offers your typical touristy beachfront shops selling clothes, sunglasses, and various souvenirs found at the most popular beach destinations.
White Beach is situated 12 km east of Sabang beach. It is connected by trike or jeepney to Sabang Beach where the road is under constant construction causing delays on occasion. White Beach remains popular with local travelers and Filipino families. The place features a long beach of white fine sand.
Filipinos like to come here at weekends and during the holiday season. There is a long line of restaurants and a variety of shops, the place is buzzing with life day and night. Since 2001, White Beach has seen uncontrolled development. New restaurants and places to stay had been encroaching on the beach itself until a concrete walk way was finally built to limit the expansion.
Behind the beaches are the generally unexplored mountain ranges of central Mindoro. A local attraction is the 9-hole golf course located on the hillside above White Beach which has views over Puerto Galera’s natural harbor and the Verde Island Passage. The Mangyan’s are scattered over the mountainsides – some of them have virtually no contact with the outside world. Of the eight natives on Mindoro, the Iraya are the largest. They are based in the Puerto Galera area.
Small Tabinay Beach
Only 10 minutes from your arrival point at BALATERO Pier is a tranquil semi private beach. Centrally located this is the home of BADLADZ Beach Resort. From here most Fun locations are only 15 minutes.
