The Other Side of Puerto Galera

I've been to White Beach several times already. If you want to be seen and if you are looking for party mood, White Beach is really the place for you. However, this year, I wanted something different. I wanted to experience the sea, sand and sun in a more peaceful and serene way. After much research, we decided to try out Talipanan Beach, Puerto Galera.

We booked ourselves at Mountain Beach Resort. Getting there is the same as going to White Beach. Just hop on a ferry boat from the Batangas Pier. We rode one which dropped us off directly at Talipanan. I think you can also reach it by tricycle from White Beach. I am just not so sure about the fare.

The resort was great and the staff was very friendly. Food was also great at their restaurant. We loved their mango pancakes! :-D





It was indeed peacefule there. It wasn't that crowded. Kaya lang, I wasn't so happy with the beach there. Fortunately, when we walked around, we found this very beautiful area. Medyo mahirap lang to go there because it was a choice between going into the waters or climbing steep rocks (we tried both!). But the view was so much worth it! :-D


There were only a few dining places there. I think the most upscale would be Luca's Italian restaurant. We were not so happy with what we ordered the first time we ate there.We had carbonara (not so creamy) and 4 cheese pizza (was there any cheese?!). However, we were so much happier with our food the next night. We had their putanesca and a pork dish. It was so yummy that there was nothing left to take home. ;-)




I would love to spend some time there again. :-)
