Puerto Galera

T

his very popular diving, holiday
and nightlife destination offers
great diving by day and lots of
partying by night. Good local food
stands line the beach and fine
dining can be found in the hotels.
Accommodation is plentiful,
ranging from simple beach cottages
to air-conditioned resorts. The
shoreline is the home of the famous
The Point Bar. Here many dive
stories are both created and then
greatly embellished. Food and
revelry aside, there are dive shops
that are very advanced and
equipped well for anything from
basic instruction all the way up to
advanced technical diving.
The northeast tip of beaches and
bays of Mindoro Island is actually
referred to commonly as Puerto
Galera. Puerto Galera town is

actually a bigger non-tourist city a

bit southwest of Sabang. Generally,

the whole area just gets called

Puerto Galera but the divers mostly

hang out around Sabang’s beaches

which include Monkey Beach, Big
