Hi,

Has anyone else been there?

It's suppose to be a nice area if you like surfing and pretty girls.

I searched all the threads but can't find any info.

Have you seen the movie "Apocalypse Now" The helicopter scene with the Wagner music and Robert
Duvall " I love the smell of Naplam in the morning" This was the main beach at Baler in 1976 when the film was shot.

I have never been but you can find chicks everywhere in PI.

Go and write a report

I had some confusion with Liloan -- there are two places on Cebu Island with the same name. If you take a boat from Dumaguete, Negros across the Tanon strait, you will land near the town of Liloan (Li-loan). Then if you go about 120 kilometers to the NNE, you will pass Cebu city and find a place called...Liloan.

The beaches around the Tanon Strait are very nice.

If you mean "Laoag", it is the capital city of Ilocos Norte on the main island of Luzon.

Good you mentioned Sabang Beach. If you are going for the mongering this is the place to stay. I remember the Apple, Braodway, and Sunset Disco. No freelances when I was there. Typical barfine setup.

Wanderer,

The feedback I've read from another forum is that there are four or five "discos" on Sabang Beach, which is the place where the action is in the Puerto Galera area. I think one is called Broadway and another is called Village. There are hundreds of girls who work at these "discos" but they are really girlie bars more or less. Supposedly a lot of the girls are really good looking.

Does anyone have any idea about where this place/island is?

I cant find it in any travel guide or map and it supposed to be in the Philipines northern area somewhere.
Thanks

Eddie thanks for responding and the information. With regard to RTFF, it could be I'm incompetent but the only "recent" information I could find was written by a guy called Snow Koala in Jan 07, however, his report related to a trip in May 2006 - which is a little stale. As I want to relax and dive but also have some fun with the Ladies ,my dilemma is; do I need to take p4p with me from Manila.

Mattrick/Finrod Thanks, expect a report second week in Oct.

May want to stay at the City State Hotel in Ermita. They have a 7am bus that takes you to Batanges where you catch the ferry.

Bars, essentially four go-go bars that are ok if you go eary, the pickings in those bars after midnight are very slim.

Hello Wanderer,

To the wanderer,

This area is a very good place to relax and scuba dive. A white beach in sabang have a few bars. I've been there a few times, but if just want p4p you should just stay in Manila or go to Angeles ,

There are reports at this thread. I don't think you have look hard enough or just too lazy.

I am planning a short trip to Legaspi- if anyone recently visited the place please advise regarding hotels, and the "places" to visit.
Thanks in advance.

Just doing some research on Sabang, going end September. Can find very little recent information, any info you could share would be appreciated. Transport, money, bars, go-gos, EWR and ST/LT prices, food etc

Thanks

I've been there. I brought my own girl so I can't speak to the prices for the action. Sabang nightlife is all restaurants, bars and discos, no go-gos that I saw. For hotel, there's a wide variety depending on your budget. In my case, we stayed in Puerto Galera at the Nirvana. Nice place, that with aircon and a decent view of the bay. I never saw an ATM anywhere. I'm sure there's one hidden away some place, but it's best to bring your own cash from Manila.

I only know about getting there from Manila. There's a bus station in Pasay City just off the LRT (one or two stops north of Libertad St) with aircon buses going to a variety of destinations. You want the bus that goes to Batangas City. Think it took 2 or 2 1/2 hours in the very early morning. It ends at the Batangas port where you can find a ferry for Puerto Galera. I think you may have a choice between a fast ferry and a slow one, but I'm not remembering that part. I do remember getting on the bus at 4:45am and finally arriving in Puerto Galera about 10:30 or 11am so get going in the morning, I don't know if they have ferries that go at night. I'm drawing a blank on the prices I paid for us on the bus and the ferry, but it can't have been that much.

When you arrive at Puerto Galera, you will find trikes to be the only transportation available. Negotiate with someone is all I can say. My girl handled that for us.

I've always wondered about the action there. Do tell us about it.
