White Beach Puerto Galera
Beach tourists usually seek warmth and comfort in seeing a long strait of white sand put forth beside the deep blue waters of the sea. That is probably the reason White Beach welcomes more tourists than any other beaches found in Puerto Galera.
The White Beach is basically located a few kilometers away from the town proper. There are direct ferry routes to the White Beach. If you miss any of them at the Batangas Pier, you can easily settle for a ferry ride to Muelle Pier. From there, you can get either a jeepney or a tricycle to White Beach. That is how easy it is to get to this scenic place. The cost of your transportation is slightly higher if you do not get a trip straight to the White Beach but paying the extra Php30 to Php50 is definitely a better choice than missing out on the goodness of a white sand paradise.
There are several lodging facilities that can be found on the White Beach. Each is priced according to their offered comfort. If you want to go luxurious and you have the money to spend, you may settle on the hip hotels that can be found within the vicinity. If you are on a budget, you can ask the locals for reasonably cheaper rates. Make sure that you have cold cash to pay for your place to stay. There are no ATMs yet within walking distance. If you get short of cash and all that you have on hand is your ATM card, you will have to go to the town proper to withdraw some cash.
Aside from the usual beach activities that you can very well enjoy in White Beach, souvenir items, massages, henna tattoos, and braided hairs are some of the unique things that you could try while you are on the island. As with anything, try to haggle for the prices that you are asked to pay. That is the best way to get the most value for your money in the island.
Take a trip to all the souvenir shops built around the area to find the cheapest prices. Sometimes, vendors price their items differently to attract more customers. They are after the quantity of customers and not the quality of their revenues. You must scout for the former kind because they can give you lower prices for the same items. In case of having a massage, approach the locals who can offer it for a lower price than going to a spa parlor. Massages by locals are equally relaxing and soothing and cost-efficient at that. Henna tattoos and hair braiding can be done in sleek style parlors that are also within the vicinity. Henna tattoos are usually priced according to the size of your chosen skin art while hair braids are priced according to hair length.
True enough, there are many things about the White Beach that makes it an amazing destination for Puerto Galera visitors.
