Sabang, Palawan version 2

After new years, Nabs and I went to Sabang and decided to stay there for 3 nights. Public transportation both ways, which was scary but quite fun I must admit,  I even got to ride at the top of the jeepney along with the bags of coal, rice, and chicken (which almost fell off on the highway). It was really nice, I’ve been to underground river before but never really got to explore Sabang that much.

What I didn’t know about Sabang was that electricity doesn’t run 24 hours, like in El Nido, it only comes at certain hours of the day. In Sabang it was from 5 or 6pm to midnight, luckily the cottage we stayed in was by the beach, so it was pretty breezy and sometimes even chilly in the morning. The weather was nice, the sun was shinning and the temperature was fine, not too hot, although it did rain a little bit.

Day 1, all we did was swim at the beach, the resort we stayed in (Mary’s) is at the very end of Sabang beach, but if you go further down the coconut trees you’d see another beach and a river where they have mangrove tours. I really like the beach there,  less people. Scary thing about the beaches in Sabang is the undercurrent, it freaked me out a little bit and the waves, so trying to look all baywatch and all nah..  trying not to get sucked out into the ocean will be your main concern

We heard there was this place with waterfalls near by, so we decided to check it out the next day. I think it took us about 45 minutes to find the place, it wasn’t really that easy to walk through big rocks in flip-flops. The waterfalls was smaller than we expected, but it was really pretty. It was right by the beach and after walking through those big rocks it was nice to take a dip and enjoy the place.

So, apart from that all we did was bum around. We were planning to do the mangrove tour but we were too lazy, instead Nabs gave me a massage right by the beach. Mangrove tour VS massage by the beach?? easy choice. It was soo perfect, the beach, the wind, the beers, being away from the city, and being with Nabs.. it was just way too good to be true.
