Baler to Dinadiawan – Traveling back through Aurora – This is our Philip...

On our way back to
Cauayan, we decided to just take a quick peek to see the Dinadiawan Beach. This
looked like a very nice beach with a nice white sand from what we saw. It would
almost remind you of a beach in Florida.

Although we were
not able to find a place to stay here this weekend, we will be back one day I
am sure. It has a few resorts if they are not full. We would like to be able to
stay here on the beach at some point in the future.

From what I have
read on line, you should be prepared for limited amenities while trying to stay
in this area. WIFI and restaurants are far and few between. You might be able
to squeeze in an airconditioned room if you are lucky.

I think this would
be a great place to camp for the weekend. There was even one resort that
catered to this with the “new” glamping experience. I thought that would be fun
to try. Maybe one day we can do this!

Dreams of Crabs and Swimming – Exploring Baler, Aurora – This is our Phi...

Enjoying a night swim at the SeaSta resort. The kids really
enjoyed their time here. The pool was open until 10PM each night and they sure
made use of that time. The pool also had changing colored lights that made the
ambiance enjoyable to just sit out by it in the big lounge chairs and watch the
kids.

Although there was a restaurant, we had gone into town
earlier in the evening to buy crabs and fish. We found a place outside the
market that had fresh seafood cooked and it was a takeout menu as well. Maly,
Anabel and Marissa were happy to sit and enjoy this wonderful food. They used
our small stove to cook the rice they needed, and the feast was on.

SeaSta Beach Resort – Exploring Baler Aurora – This is our Philippines

We really had no
place to stay in mind when beginning our trip. We just thought we would drive
along until we found a place we liked. We had stopped in a few places along the
way, but being it was a holiday weekend, most places were full. As we checked
in the last place in Dinadiawan, we were told to keep driving that more resorts
were down the road. Little did we know, that we were going in an opposite
direction than what the resort for Dinadiawin were in.

Down from Dinadiawan
to Baler it is about 60KM. That would not be too far, but again the road was a
curvy mountain road hugging the coast line. It was a beautiful ride, but it
took a little over an hour and a half to reach Baler. This is where we would
begin to see resorts again.

We actually drove
through Baler and missed the turn off to the main beach of Sabang which might
have had some resorts there. We were not sure where we were going but ended up
finding this little resort along the road called SeaSta Beach resort.

It was a very nice
resort and very clean. The rooms were spacious enough to accommodate all of us
that came along on this trip! The rooms all had AC and the shower had hot water
to boot! That was basically all we were looking for. Oh, and there was free
WIFI which the kids enjoyed almost as much as the pool! The ambiance with the
wooden structures and palm trees made it very relaxing. The fresh breeze coming
off the ocean and the shade from the trees made it a comfortable stay.

We would
definitely come back here to stay if we were in the Baler area again.

Baler Wet Market – Exploring Baler Aurora – This is our Philippines

Maly and Grandma
were on the hunt for crabs and shrimp. We made a stop by the Baler Wet Market,
but all the crabs were sold out and the shrimp were at a high price. We did not
stay long in the wet market and I was happy for that. Sometimes the smell in
the wet markets can be a bit overcoming.

I would have made
a video of the next place we stopped but trying to find parking was not easy.
Maly and Anabel went in before me and they got crab and shrimp that were
already cooked and prepared. They also had fresh tuna steaks that were grilled.
Those were pretty good even if I do not eat fish that often.

Enjoying Samgyeopsal on the beach at Baler – Exploring Baler Aurora – Th...

Steve, do you mean
you come all the way to a beach and not eat fresh seafood? Well, we were not
sure where we would end up, so we had brought some food with us as well. We
enjoy eating samgyeopsal (cooked pork belly and lettuce). We had gotten the
meat from one of the stores in Cauayan and brought it along. We also had
brought our small portable stove to cook it on.

You might notice
in the video that we should have had kimchi to go along with this. I seemed to
have forgotten it at the house. If you are eating this at a Korean restaurant,
they would probably serve it with kimchi and other side dishes.

We like adding
onions and garlic to the grill while we fry the meat. These can then be added
into the wraps to make it extra delicious.  

Marissa did a
great job keeping up with our demand for the meat to be done. I did not find
out until later that this is not one of her favorite meals. Sorry Marissa that
you did not enjoy this as much as we did but thank you for doing a wonderful
job cooking it!

Hanging Bridge– Exploring Baler Aurora – This is our Philippines

We thought we
would try to indulge in a little something more adventurous. Not too far from
Diguisit Beach we found Baler Hanging Bridge. The hanging bridge is a
steel-cable foot bridge over the moss-green waters of the Tibag-Sibang river.
The river then empties into the Baler Bay just south of the bridge. This is
just south of the main tourist area along Sibang Beach. There is a grand view
as you cross the bridge of the river’s mouth.

It is a little
shaky crossing the bridge and Grandma did not want to partake in this
adventure. Megan was also a little scared but seemed to be alright on the way
back across. For the most part it was not that bad to walk across, even with
the amount of people that were crossing that day.

Diguisit Beach– Exploring Baler Aurora – This is our Philippines

Right down the
road from Diguisit Falls we came upon Diguisit Beach. Baler maybe better known
amongst the surfers for its beaches with waves, but it also has beaches like
these with their roack formations as the main attraction. These rock formations
are another reason that make Baler one of the best road trip destinations in
Luzon.
