Sabang Beach
The birthplace of surfing in the Philippines, with several kilometers of gray-sand beach lined with surf schools and seaside restaurants.
Sabang Beach is the heart of Baler. After the 1979 film 'Apocalypse Now' was shot here, surf culture took off and gave rise to the Philippines' first generation of surfers. The shore is lined with surf schools, where renting a board with a coach costs about 350 to 500 pesos per hour. The waves are gentle and suitable for beginners. From October to February, the northeast monsoon brings bigger waves, and an annual surf festival is held. The sunrise here is beautiful. The beach is free to visit, and you can walk to the town center.
