if you're already tired of doing nothing at the beach, try climbing the mountain at the back of whitebeach, it may not be an easy one but it's definitely worth the try. warning though, there are a lot of leeches on some part of the trail so be alert and have a rubbing alcohol ready.

beach hopping via turbo charged tricycle!!
We went beach hopping with Kuya Marlon our F1 tricycle driver/tour guide/ladiesman. We went to at least 5 different beaches in galera in 1 day. Not your typical lounging around white beach and bar crunching at night. :) I've never taken pictures of beaches like these before. Simply Amazing!

On the way back from Big Lalaguna Beach just before going down the steps, we saw another path that leads up to the hill. Decided to climb up to see what's up there.

After some sweating in the hot sun, we were rewarded by magnificent views of the sea and the beaches.

Lalaguna beach

Spotted this beach when we were diving in front of it. Was not sure how to get there without a boat. Then after lunch at Small Lalaguna beach, we walked towards the left (if you're facing the sea) towards the Red Sun Resort.

There is a path and a flight of steps to climb, past some houses surrounded by trees you'll come to the beach.

It's a much bigger beach and buildings do not crowd the water edge. It's also cleaner and less crowded.

A good place to get a sun tan by the beach without everybody walking past you.

Tip for all non-divers that wish to relax : try to visit White Beach during Easter, to party with filipinos on the beach, and stay over on Aninuan beach (5 min walk), where tha atmosphere is clam and laid back. This is the perfect place.

There are so many beaches in the area so you just take a banca and go to a new beach everyday.Just speak with the boatman and tell him what kind of beach you like.Is it for bathing,swimming or snorkling,and how private you want it.Many of the bancas boatmen can also make a picnic with food,cold beers etc. etc .. just tell what you want and you will get it!

If you like trekking and climb in mountains we have Mount Halcon not far away from Puerto Galera.The mount Halcon is around 2600 meter high and enclosed in jungle.The easy way to the top is from Calapan (50 km away from Puerto Galera) and the trip will take around 4 days.On the pier in Puerto Galera there is a shop who can find a guide for you and make all the work with tent food etc.If your lucky you will see the Philippine eagle and find some beatyful orchids (wild ones)

Close to White Beach is a reptile farm, with all manner of snakes and a few crocs.
The owner is German and they have lots of information in English. You'll need to take a scooter to get here though.
