  /    /    /  #8: Puerto Galera

Puerto Galera, located approximately 130 kilometers south of Manila at the southwestern end of the Isla Verde Passage, offers a combination of water adventure and camping fun. The island is surrounded by warm water, and the beach is fantastic: there are banana boats, jet skis, scuba diving, snorkeling, surfing, and many other activities. Plus, when night falls, the beach is still active, allowing you to go bar hopping and meet new people. Then, because the island is surrounded by lush mountains, if you get tired of the beach, you can go visit the mountains and forests, perhaps even go overnight camping: the best of both worlds.
