Subic Beaches are only part of the attractions!

There are lots of Subic beaches, whilst they are not in the same category as the white sand beaches in Boracay, they most definitely have there own unique attractions. The most obvious is the convenience. The majority of the resort style hotels on the beach strip near Barrio Barretto are right on the beach, the rooms are literally overlooking the Subic beaches and continue on over the secluded Subic Bay. A fantastic way to wake up in the morning and a glorious way to spend your evening.

There are some beaches inside the Subic Bay Freeport area which have small huts and volleyball and basketball courts, but to me they are a bit sterile. The authorities have almost created an area and control the amount of people who go there, you even have to pay a small fee for the privilege. For me a beach has a romantic feel and attachment, Subic beaches should be there for anyone to come and enjoy and use, carefree and relaxed like the Filipino people who call Subic beaches home.

There are numerous attractions that draw people from far and wide to visit Subic Bay and Subic beaches are just one small part. Other attractions include:

Scuba Diving
