Sabang Beach (Puerto Galera)

13° 31.3′ N · 120° 58.4′ E

The dive-and-party village 5 km east of Puerto Galera town: a narrow strip of sand lined with dive resorts, bars and restaurants, with the reef and wrecks of Sabang Bay a fin-kick offshore.

Practical

Position: OSM 'Sabang Beach'. PGYC: the 'party beach', mostly underwater at high tide; floating bars about 100 m offshore are a good swim spot. Reach it by tricycle from Muelle (Muelle is the nearer ferry port for Sabang). No yacht anchorage is documented off Sabang - visit from the moorings by land or dinghy in settled weather. ATMs at Atlantis Resort (Noonsite). Jet skis permitted within posted speed limits (PGYC). The Saturday 3:30pm Hash run starts at Capt'n Gregg's.

Best for

Dive centres, nightlife and the reef off the beach
