Ermita Hill
A small hill where, according to legend, residents took refuge during a tsunami in 1735. From the summit you can see the full panorama of Baler Bay and Sabang Beach.
Ermita Hill sits beside Cemento Beach. Legend says that in the 18th century a tsunami swept away the old town of Baler, and only a few families who fled up this hill survived. A memorial statue stands on the hill. The climb by steps takes about 10 to 15 minutes, and from the top you can see Baler Bay, Sabang Beach and the distant mountains. The summit has a hall of fame exhibit and a small park. Admission is free. From the town center, a tricycle ride takes about 10 minutes.
