Puerto Galera Mindoro

The town of Puerto Galera (pwair-toe gal-air-ah) proper is centred on Muelle pier, a humble jetty flanked by a line of restobars and a couple of hotels. Business is not what it used to be since brash newcomers Sabang and White Beach got their own boat services, but even the most idle hotelier can take consolation from what remains one of the finest harbour views in the Philippines.

Puerto Galera is Spanish for ‘Port of the Galleons’. Its deep natural harbour is sheltered on all sides, and was a favoured anchorage of ocean-going vessels centuries before the Spanish arrived in 1572. Yachties from all over the world are still drawn to Puerto, where, uncommonly for the Philippines, talk is more about what you can do above the water than beneath it.

Mindoro

WorldTravelDB.com — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 07:01:22 +0000

A rugged island cut in two by an almost impassable mountain range, Mindoro is part tropical paradise, part provincial backwater. The physical barrier of the High Rolling Mountains has led to the formation of two provinces on the island: Mindoro Oriental (east), and Mindoro Occidental (west).

Most of Mindoro’s tourist industry is found on the north coast of Mindoro Oriental, in the resort towns around Puerto Galera. Here you’ll find white-sand beaches, secluded coves and tropical hideaways in a stunning harbour. There is accommodation to suit everyone, from beach shacks to world-class resorts, and some of the Philippines’ best diving around Sabang.
