Galoc Island Anchorage

11° 58.3′ N · 119° 51.3′ E

A bay on the lovely channel south of Galoc Island, between Busuanga's offshore islands and Culion, with no cell signal and no one around.

Practical

RCC/Plainsong (2025): 11 58.3N 119 51.3E; anchor in 45-50 ft (14-15 m); any further in gets very close to the reef. Navionics is only partly accurate, especially at the narrowest point of the channel, so eyeball navigation is essential. No cell reception. East of here the bays fill with pearl farms (see the Galoc-Culion channel passage).

A quiet night on the scenic inside route
