Baler Surf

June 18 - 20, 2011
Baler, Aurora

June 20 was a non-working holiday in commemoration of our national hero's 150th birthday. Given that there are only few long weekends this year, my office mates and I took upon the chance to get out of the city and enjoy the weekend. So we went to Baler...

Baler was truly enjoyable! We stayed at Bahia de Baler and dined at Bay's Inn. The beach was perfect for surfing with its long shore line, smooth sand, gradual descent, and nice waves. The town and its surrounding areas were beautiful. Here are some of the activities that we did, as well as the places we visited:

First order of business: Surf's up!


2nd day we went around Baler: Maria Aurora's house


Then off to Quezon Park


Quezon Park housed the Museo de Baler


In decades past, villagers climbed Ermita hill to avoid an incoming tsunami


We decided to pursue a cove with white beach,
along the way we passed by Dima-dimalangat


And we chanced upon Diguisit Falls


Finally, the breathtaking Dicasalarin Cove


Back to Baler Bay for some frisbee and more surfing fun


Surfing is no easy feat. But thanks to Charlie Does
I had a surfin' good time!
