sabang beach is one of the most wonderful beaches i ve been to ,it is so peacful and so clean and it has the typical tropical flair with birds singing and the waves roaring to the shore clean waters and the nicest sand to walk on,i personaly love that there is no fences and all neighboring properties get treated respectfully, the life guards are really helpful and accomodating and their watchful eyes make sure that you are safe in the sometimes a little wild and wavy waters, another wonderful highlight are all the small restaurants the wonderful warf and market area and the very helpful tour guides and tour managers....great place to go for everyone who likes a peacful and close to nature beach envirnoment

We had such a fun time hanging out with one of the owners, Malu, and trying their craft brews and rum, YUM! It was refreshing to drink a beer incorporating local flavors like Palawan honey and seasonal fruits. Our family of 4 could not have had a more enjoyable rainy day. My daughter sang Adele songs and my son enjoyed the freshly roasted locally grown cashew nuts among other finger foods. I loved the empanadas myself and my husband's favorite was the NogNog beer (which he initially thought was Eggnog beer, lol, he wasn't wearing his glasses and misread the menu). We would definitely come visit again when we travel back to Puerto Princesa next year!

The first time i went to Nagtabon Beach was 25 years ago when the only way to get there was riding on the daily jeepney along a rough road which sometimes took up to 4 hours for the 30 km trip. Back then there were two simple places to stay and during our visits you could guarantee that there were no more than 10 people in the sea. Nowadays there is a concrete road leading all the way down to the beach and it is easy to rent a motorbike in Puerto Princesa for the 30-40 minute trip. The beach is sandy and the ocean clean as wave after wave hits the shore.There are many little canteens along the beach now and a few places to stay. You can even rent surfboards and enjoy the fun when the waves are big enough. Nowadays there are hundreds of visitors at the beach on the weekend, enjoying their time. BUT be careful as when it is rough there is a rip tide and people drown each year if the lifeguard cannot reach them on time. My favorite canteen/bar is Surf Surf which is to the left when you reach the beach, (about 100 m ). We used to be able to park our motorbikes on the access road but since last week you have to park them in a field for 30 pesos fee, which is very reasonable. Do not go to the first bar to the right which is run by a Slovenian who charges an astronomical 80 pesos for a beer, 150 pesos for a hammock, and even 250 pesos to sit at a table with two chairs to drink the beer that you bought. If you fancy a safer beach do not take the road down to Nagtabon beach, just continue another 9 kms to Talaudyaong Beach where swimming is safer as there is no rip-tide. Here there are several small resorts which charge a small entrance fee.

We were taken on a tour of general attractions around Puerta Princessa. First place the open prison colony. Which i found very moving. I was amazed to join in and dance with some of the inmates, one told me he was serving a 13 yr term. A great place to visit, yes i did buy a T shirt, i have yet to wear.

Baker's Hill We were transferred to a theme park teeming wd visitors/tourists wd an added bonus of an overlooking view of the city without any admission fee to the premises. Food prices are usually cheaper than mall prices. This is the main store for some baked products but is more than that wd the in-house theme park. It's a must visit place. Not accessible to public utility vehicles since access road is a private road. You need to hire a private transport.
