Sabang beach has no waves during this month quarter. Go there on the 4th quarter and 1st quarter of the year to enjoy big waves for surfing.

We had a great time in Baler especially in Sabang Beach where I tried surfing. I have ticked one from my bucket list. Would love to go back and spend a little longer to totally explore the place. Thank you for the hospitality!

This was my 5th visit to Aurora. The first two was when this place wasn't commercially busy yet. So I had a glimpse of the before and the now. Sabang Beach however remains as it is.. breathtakingly beautiful with its crashing waves, panoramic views and fresh air. It is world-class and truly remarkable.

There doesn’t seem to be a downtime in Baler! There are surfable waves all year round, the intensity just changes. It’s a great place to learn in since it’s a beach break so you don’t need to worry about getting wounded should you wipe out.
I noticed that the beach lifeguards and surf instructors are very cautious. They would get the attention of swimmers if they are getting to far or getting near a rip current. They will not stop until you follow. They are very keen on the safety of the tourists.
There are many surfers offering lessons and just choose who fits your learning style.
The beach was generally clean but there’s just an area that need to be maintained better.

I loved Sabang Beach because I came to improve my surfing. I had been to Siargao twice for surfing before I came to Baler (Sabang Beach) and would definitely recommend Baler over Siargao for beginners. The surf break at Sabang Beach, Baler is waaaay easier to learn on than Siargao’s spots (in my experience). Beach break vs. reef break is a big part of it, but also that you can stay in hotels right on the beach and just look out your window to know if the waves are the right size for you at high/low tide etc.
There is much less of a “bro culture / intense pro surfers” in Baler which made it feel like I wasn’t in the way as I was trying to learn.
The negative part about Baler is that it doesn’t have the chill out on the beach set up for some reason? None of the hotels seem to have beach chairs available for guests? Wtf? That could be improved for sure.
Also there were some jellyfish in the water when I was there, but luckily in my 4 days of surfing I didn’t get stung at all.

If you are into surfing or beach bum, this is the best place for you! Sabang Beach is the most-visited destinations in Baler mainly because of surfing. Whether you are an amateur or a pro-surfer, it doesn’t matter at all.
As long as you can ride with the waves, you will surely adore the beauty of Sabang beach. It might not have white-sand like any other beaches, but the strong waves that it has will definitely amaze you!
But, if you are not really into surfing, it’s okay. You can still relax and enjoy staying at the beach. Have fun laying on its fine, black sand. Just expect the crowd most especially in the afternoon.

There are a number of hotels - both expensive and not-so-expensive which can address different preferences when planning to explore Sabang Beach in Baler, Aurora. The guarantee is that Sabang Beach is definitely one of the cheapest way to explore Learning Surfing even for non-swimmers. Hence, ideal to bring the whole family (with kids) and barkada alike.

The beach itself is free, so you really don't need to worry about that. as for staying there? the price would vary depending on what place you're gonna stay in. i would recommend checking airbnb (i didn't notice any hotels... if there are? they are definitely NOT close to the beach)
hi we want o do board surfing & we will be staying for 1 night 3pax is this the best place?

You can stay at bayler view hotel sabang branch, it’s beachfront. Then you can do the city tour which includes the balete tree, the mother falls, ermita hill etc. Then the nearby museum and of course try to learn to surf.

Hi, we plan on travelling with our 4 year old son around December, would the sea not be too rough during this time of the year? Thanks

Not very ideal for a child to swim because of the waves.. but he can play in the shores as long as you can watch over or with inflaters. 👍🏻
Is it pet friendly?
