Surfing at Sabang Beach, Baler

Are you thinking of spending your summer with a twist? Then you may want to try surfing at one of our country's best surf spot, Sabang Beach, Baler.

Surfing at Sabang Beach, Baler

There are different surf spots in Baler, but Sabang Beach is the friendliest for beginners. It is not too deep, though the waves are quite intimidating, you won't be drowned even if you fall off the surf board, unless you don't know how to swim.

We've found two Surf shops in Sabang Beach, (Mahdox Surf and Charlie Does) but we've decided to go with the latter because of its proximity to (Bay's Inn) our accommodation for the first day in Baler.

Review of [88 HOTSPRING RESORT SPA]

If you've been longing for a relaxing weekend getaway but can't afford to go far from Metro Manila then 88 Hotspring Resort and Spa in Laguna is the best place for you. This sanctuary is just less than two hours ride from Manila.

In search of hot spring resorts near Manila, I found this clean and very appealing Korean resort in Laguna. The resort's amenities including pools and rooms are very clean. They have lots of warm pools that everyone can enjoy. These include Fengshui Pool, Jacuzzi, Hot Mini, Hot Standard, Kiddies Standard and Standard pool.

Room rate for an overnight stay is a bit expensive, but the entrance fee for a day tour is quite reasonable. For just P500, you can freely enjoy a whole day of swimming and relaxation from their hot spring pools. What's also good is they provide lockers for your belongings.

The 88 Hotspring Resort has a restaurant that serves Korean and Filipino dishes. We've tried their breakfast and it was good. It was just too pricey so we just went to the nearest mall for the rest of our meals.

A lot of Koreans go there, so don't be surprised if you and a few from the staff are the only Filipinos in that place. They arrive in groups and usually stay for a day tour just to take a dip in 88's hot spring pools.

Overall, 88 Hotspring Resort and Spa is a good place to relax and experience the benefit of spa or hot spring pools without having to travel far away from the city. I will definitely go back again in this place.

Baler is famous for being a surfer’s paradise. But aside from that, Baler is also rich in natural wonders and historical landmarks. Here are some of the best Baler tourist spots that you may want to see.

Ditumabo Falls (Mother Falls)

Ditumabo Falls, also known as the Mother Falls, is the largest water falls in Aurora. It is around 40 minutes away from Sabang and is situated at the town of San Luis.

The trail to Ditumabo falls is simple but a bit challenging. You'll pass through a literally rocky road before reaching the jump off point and will endure a 1.3km trek before seeing the majestic Mother falls.

The Sierra Madre Hotel & Resort

The Sierra Madre Hotel & Resort is just along the National Highway in Tanay, Rizal. We've been there last year for a short vacation and will definitely be coming back. The place is cold and quiet. Definitely a great place to unwind and bond with nature.

Pine trees are everywhere.
