Puerto Galera, Beach municipality in Oriental Mindoro, Philippines
Puerto Galera is a beach municipality in Oriental Mindoro with white sand beaches, clear waters, and mountainous terrain behind the coast. The town spreads across a large territory with diverse landscapes ranging from shorelines to elevated areas.
Spanish explorers arrived in the area during the 16. century and built military structures to establish control. This early European presence shaped how the region developed afterward.
The people here speak Iraya and Tagalog, and their festivals reflect traditions tied to living by the sea. Walking through the area, you notice how the coastal rhythm shapes daily routines and celebrations.
You can reach Puerto Galera by taking a bus from Manila to Batangas, then catching a ferry across the water to the town. Allow enough time for the boat ride, especially if you are traveling with local transportation services.
The waters surrounding this coastal town hold an unusually high concentration of marine life, drawing divers and snorkelers to explore. This biological richness makes the waters a special place for observing ocean creatures.
