Just a few hours from the hustle and bustle of manila lies the idyllic island of

Mindoro, on the northern end can be found puerto galera a wild life heaven, with

This coastal town is well known among tourists for its numerous pocket beaches and many

snorkeling and Scuba diving spots. The area was designated a Man and Biosphere Reserve

of UNESCO in 1973 and has some of the most diverse coral reef diving in Asia. The

marine environment has benefited in recent years from the influx of tourist dollars.

This has seen a huge reduction in the number of fishermen in the area, as they gain

higher revenue from tourists.

Puerto Galera is a listed by the Club of the Most Beautiful Bays of the World, and is

the only bay in the Philippines to be listed there.

Among the famous beaches in Puerto Galera are Sabang Beach and White Beach, which have

an active nightlife with numerous bars and restaurants. Both beaches also have an array

of first-class and economy-class accommodations.

Sabang beach is the main destination for foreign tourists, while White Beach remains

popular with local travelers.Big La Laguna Beach and Small La Laguna Beach are

considered part of Sabang with resorts lining the beaches. Big La Laguna Beach is

popular for local swimmers and snorkelers. Since 2001 White beach has seen uncontrolled

development. New restaurants and places to stay are rapidly encroaching on the beach

itself and little remains of the once charming beach. Puerto Galera town is a pleasant

but sleepy Philippine town with few attractions. It has a large central catholic church

and a Pier area, with a selection of bistros and cafes.
