Puerto Galera Bay (Muelle Bay)
Muelle Bay
A natural harbor surrounded by islands, named one of the Most Beautiful Bays of the World. Sailboats dot the water, and the fishing village is peaceful.
Puerto Galera Bay is encircled by several small islands and has long served as a natural harbor for sheltering from typhoons. Spanish colonists therefore called it the 'Port of the Great Galleons.' Muelle Pier, the town's ferry terminal, sits inside the bay, next to a yacht club and seaside restaurants. In the evening, sailboats fill the bay and the mood is relaxed. The bay was named a member of the Most Beautiful Bays of the World club in 2005, and the surrounding waters are part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. You can watch the sunset from a pier restaurant or charter a boat from here for island-hopping.
