June is a month of many celebrations to my family (Wedding Anniversary. Birthday of my Son, Birthday of my husband) again as a beach lover. Decided to go to a beach in White Beach Puerto Galera. This is my 2nd time in Puerto Galera and at this month not a lot of tourist visit this place. That's why my family enjoyed the beach is not crowded is like Boracay the sand is fine and white. Place is clean, food is great.

Great white sandy beach, lots of nightlife along it in the evening with bars and music, ladyboy shows and live bands. The water is warm and clean. There are shops and restaurants along the promenade that are very reasonably priced, myself and my wife took her mother , her aunt & uncle and her cousin , we spent around 3000 pesos per evening meal , which is less than £50 and included drinks. You can get there from Luzon from ferry at Batangas and it takes about 1 hour, then our hotel provided transport to the hotel , on the way back we had to pay 200 pesos per tut tut.

If you're a tourist and value your time, remove this option from your interest. The beach may be inviting but beware of sea urchins. Also, too many vendors following and offering services like massages and hair braiding. The beach is a mess due to unruly tourists as well, leaving their rubbish. Lack of infrastructure made the experience worse, from disembarking the sea vessel to the port exit of both Balatero in Puerto Galera and Batangas, leaving you walking under the sun. Bus travel from Batangas port to the NCR is also a nightmare, even if the bus been filled, it'll take the bus half an hour more to leave the port vicinity and then another stop at a terminal somewhere near the port. If given a choice, stay away from visiting the island of Puerto Galera, saves you time.

White Beach is an amazing place with fantastic bars restaurants and of course a great beach. In the village itself you can great great food and drinks from Pirata bar run by English man the service is great and food is very good. Lots of European ex pats here too. If you are on the beach esplanade you have to visit Jam House opens 3/4 pm most days but the music on Fridays Saturdays and Sundays is brilliant. The food is amazing and the service brilliant. There are other bars and restos along the beach certainly plenty to choose from. There are the customary beach activities if thats your thing or you can just relax on the beach itself. You need to be aware the only to ATMs are inside Finnesse bar or behind chooks to go. There are plenty of trikes or tuk tuks to get you here from Balatero port or Galera town its self. Also whats a positive thing in my opinion about white beach is there are no girlie bars its very much a family resort. Lots of hotels and rooms to suit every budget
