Verde Island Passage is a strait that separates the islands of Luzon and Mindoro, connecting the West Philippine Sea with the Tayabas Bay and the Sibuyan Sea beyond. It is one of the busiest sea lanes in the Philippines because it is the main shipping route between the Port of Manila and the Visayas and Mindanao in the south. Also many ferries navigate the waters connecting the surrounding provinces of Batangas, Marinduque, Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro and Romblon.

White Beach is the longest and widest beach in Puerto Galera. It is a bit laid-back compared to Sabang, but Sabang is smaller but livelier because it has more bars, shops, restaurants and discos.
It is a common practice to rent a cottage at one resort and hop at different resorts and beaches during the day and at even at night.
