Verde island, some of the most spectacular diving in the Philippines. This coastal town is well known among

tourists for its numerous pocket

beaches and many snorkeling and Scuba

diving spots. The area was designated a

Man and Biosphere Reserve of UNESCO in

1973 and has some of the most diverse

coral reef diving in Asia. The marine

environment has benefited in recent

years from the influx of tourist

dollars. This has seen a huge reduction

in the number of fishermen in the area,

as they gain higher revenue from

tourists.

Puerto Galera is a listed by the Club

of the Most Beautiful Bays of the

World, and is the only bay in the

Philippines to be listed there.

Among the famous beaches in Puerto

Galera are Sabang Beach and White

Beach, which have an active nightlife

with numerous bars and restaurants.

Both beaches also have an array of

first-class and economy-class

accommodations.

Sabang beach is the main destination

for foreign tourists, while White Beach

remains popular with local

travelers.Big La Laguna Beach and Small

La Laguna Beach are considered part of

Sabang with resorts lining the beaches.

Big La Laguna Beach is popular for

local swimmers and snorkelers. Since

2001 White beach has seen uncontrolled

development. New restaurants and places

to stay are rapidly encroaching on the

beach itself and little remains of the

once charming beach. Puerto Galera town

is a pleasant but sleepy Philippine

town with few attractions. It has a

large central catholic church and a

Pier area, with a selection of bistros

and cafes.
