Sabang Beach in Baler, Aurora |
The trike drivers brought us to Baler Market to buy some slices of pork
and other ingredients needed for our dinner. After a few minutes of buying, we
headed to Sabang Beach, where Jamjen’s transient rooms were located. The
streets going to Sabang Beach are narrow, but growing opportunities are as wide
as the ocean in this part of Baler, Aurora.

After fixing our things and checking in our luggage and bags in our
designated rooms, we eagerly went to the shore which is just less than a minute
away. It wasn’t spectacular, except for the jaw-dropping mountain backdrops of
the beach. Maybe it is best visited during sunrise. The sands are of ordinary
river sand like, gray-black in color but what Sabang Beach in Baler makes it
famous is its killer waves. Literally, I think, the waves really are killer,
because when we soaked our feet up to our knees as we go farther from the
shore, the waves were like as high as a man’s height. The water level which
touches our knees goes as high as our head when the waves approach us. Cool.
Sabang Beach really has big waves! A total opposite to Tambobong Beach in
Dasol, Pangasinan where the waters are calm. One thing we concluded—Sabang
Beach is not for an ideal swimming.

The surfing season comes in from December to February, when Hanging Amihan
(Northeast Monsoon) prevails. However, I find the waves still good even the
cooler season is off. As they say, when one is still a newbie in surfing, the
best site for him to learn surfing is Sabang Beach here in Baler. It’s a
newbie’s surfing haven.
When the blackness of the night finally devoured what’s left of the
daylight, we decided to go back to our transient rooms. By the way, Sabang
Beach is where you can find most of the resorts, from higher end to budget
friendly. When we went to the shore, we actually made our way through a resort
and a restaurant. There is no entrance fee whatsoever in visiting Sabang Beach.
We want to enjoy Baler with a swimming pool; however there are only a few
resorts which have pools when we went there. Anyway, we still enjoyed the night
by grilling our food for dinner. The owners of Jamjen’s are very accommodating,
and so if you are looking for a decent transient room to stay in Baler where
the staff are accommodating and feel as if it’s your home away from home, don’t
hesitate to book your room at Jamjen’s. When we were there, they even provided
us things we needed in our grill and cook activities. They also told us that
there are also accredited trike drivers in Sabang Beach where you can hire them
for the tour. You can look for accredited trike drivers in downtown, or in this
case, in Sabang Beach. I will not be posting the contact numbers of the trike
drivers we hired so as to be fair with other accredited trike drivers in Baler.
Note though, your trike drivers have to be accredited tourist guide too or
else.
We got some gin and beer to booze during that night. But it was just light
because we need to wake up early tomorrow morning for our first nature stop
which is in Ampere Beach in Dipaculao. Our two days, one night tour is already
an organized schedule of tour in Baler, so you may follow our itinerary (posted
at the end of Baler-Aurora series) for your trip. Words of advice—your Baler
trip has to be organized or you will fail to get to one tourist spot. Some of
the tourist spots can be visited along the way to another tourist spot.
As far as I remember, we visited most of the tourist spots in Baler in
less than two days, although the trip is very tight. We enjoyed it. That night
in Sabang Beach where we grilled our food is just the start of an exotic
adventure in this coastal town in Central Luzon. Thank you to the owners of
Jamjen’s, our trip from Baguio to Baler, Aurora is really one of a kind.
