My colleagues and I planned a trip to Baguio for the Lenten holidays but instead we ended up going to Puerto Galera. Reason being, all bus companies bound to Baguio are fully booked.
Our time became tight due to the change in destination, cramming up checking the internet of a place to stay. Since we are all first time goers without any idea on what part is good, we just booked the first available accommodation on our search so that the vacation would push through.
Black Saturday came and we are off to Galera. Coming from Manila, we boarded a bus to Batangas. It was close to a 3-hour travel when we reached the port. Good thing one of my friend is from Batangas, we already got our ticket and just waited for the boat to load. Another hour via sea we reached our destination, Sabang Beach.

Having no information on Sabang Beach, I was at first thinking of the other amazing Puerto Galera pictures seen on the internet - semi white beach and crystal clear water. It seemed I was imagining about the popular White Beach.
I was disappointed at first by just looking at the coastal line but upon learning what the beach has to offer, it turned out we are just on the right place.

Sabang Beach has no spaceous seashore, no semi-white sand, and not so crystal clear water. What it has is a grassy and rocky beach with lots of motor boats. Yes, it is not ideal for swimming but what it is best for is diving and island hopping.
There are a lot of dive sites near Sabang as well as swim and snorkeling locations which for me is far better, less crowd, more private and much relaxing. There is just a need to hire a boat to get to your ideal location but it is worth it.
