The second of the most popular beaches and some of the best nightlife in Puerto Galera is Sabang Beach. This is one of the popular dive sites in Puerto Galera because of the beautiful Sabang Wrecks.

Sabang Beach is also a great place to hang out and enjoy the nightlife and entertainment after a fun-filled day in the sun.

Since this is the second most popular tourist attraction as I’ve said, this area has a lot of hotels, restaurants, shops, spas, a floating bar, and several girly bars available for the wild ones. Easy to say that the fun for some starts when the sun goes down in Sabang Beach.

Nightlife in Sabang goes late into the night. You’ll find most of the bars open until 12 am or 2 am and Big Apple stays open 24 hours a day. So if you want to party all night this place will not disappoint you.

Big La Laguna Beach

Big La Laguna Beach is located fifteen minutes away from Sabang Beach. This is also one of the top tourist destination beaches in Puerto Galera as well. This is a perfect place to take a day trip as some of the tourists also call Big La Laguna “ Small Boracay “ because of the white sand covered with crystal clear water.

The water on the beach is also one of the clearest so you can easily see the bottom. As you dive you’ll see a lot of fish and corals making it interesting to explore.

Another one of the prime beaches in Puerto Galera is the Small La Laguna. Just a walking distance away from Sabang Beach you’ll see the beauty of the Small La Laguna.

Hundura Beach

Hundura Beach or the Poblacion Beach is not that popular compared to the other beaches like the Sabang and the White beach. This beach isn’t really for visiting as there isn’t much beachfront and isn’t very accessible due to businesses and private property on the beachfront.

Minolo Cove

If you want a more private location, you can go to Minolo Cove. This is the place where you can have time for yourself or with your special loved ones.
