When we visited Muelle Puerto Galera Pier, we noticed that some parts were under construction, particularly the cement railings along the walkway. This made certain areas feel a bit unsafe, as there were fewer barriers preventing people from falling into the water. Hopefully, once completed, these improvements will make the area safer and more visually appealing.
One of the most interesting sights here is the cement galleon, a unique structure designed to resemble an old Spanish ship. It adds a historical and artistic touch to the pier, making it a great spot for photos. While it looks impressive, some parts seem to be undergoing maintenance as well.
Despite the ongoing work, the scenic views of the bay were still stunning. The heritage park and boardwalk provide a nice place to walk around, take photos, and enjoy the ocean breeze. There are also small shops selling local snacks, souvenirs, and fresh seafood, which added to the experience.
The pier is busy but functional, serving as a major entry point to Puerto Galera. If you’re catching a boat, arriving early is a good idea to avoid crowds. Cellular signal was weak, and while WiFi is reportedly available for a fee, I didn’t get to try it.
Overall, it’s a good place to visit if you’re in Puerto Galera. The cement galleon is a cool highlight, but the ongoing construction of the railings does take away some of the charm. Once the renovations are finished, it should be an even better and safer spot...
Read moreNever been to Sabang before yesterday. Let me say that until 2020 this place must have been awesome.
It's like the cool kid divers and the hip retiree crowd conspired with the local Filipinos to create a one of a kind, blazingly fun, alcohol, diving fueled enclave.
The maze of streets reminded me a lot of Venice, Italy, but they have countless dive shops, diving instruction fronts. Some have only room for a pool. With a shallow and a deep end for instruction. This along with numerous bars and restaurants, bodegas (sari sari stores), girly bars, and liquor stores.
Now the bad news. It's all closed. Well, the bodegas, liquor stores and a few bars are open. Other than that the maze-like venetian streets are all but void of business.
It's painful to see. Our tricycle (tuk tuk) drivers I noted were ubiquitously on empty and everyone is without income. It's a tragedy.
But, it's the Philippines, and the locals are cool, kind and seem happy. Especially to see the rare tourist. I regret not taking pictures but if there's interest, I'll do it next time...
