Quiet Beaches

The beaches of Bauang are fairly quiet! They are not as idylic as Boracay. But they are nice. There are some decent hotels to choose from and some cheaper bungalow operations too. The town of Bauang has a decent market that is interesting to walk around. It also has a Cockpit so if you're interested in checking that out you might ask a local what days they have the fights.

Scott, looks a relaxing sort of beach, would enjoy the long beach walk, but I guess I still love the hills. So part of the year in Alaska and part in The Philippines, way to go.

Amazing, such a long way to go to find a wife! If you were in Oz we could have warned you about stinging jellyfish and how they're more dangerous than sharks.

That is a fantastic looking beach where you first met your future wife! Getting tangled up with jellyfish like you did would indeed be seriously nerve-wracking!!
