Baler is known for it's surfing. If this is the main reason to go to Baler, then Sabang will be your best destination. If, on the other hand, you prefer some peace and quiet, Dicasalarin Cove will be your best bet. Tucked on the other side of a hill, one has to climb up which actually gives a wonderful view of the water. Then as you descend, you are greeted with lush greeneries. It's quiet, it's peaceful. You can come here for a day trip. But I heard recently that you can actually stay here by reserving one of the cottages. Being that we are already billeted in Sabang, we came here for a spur of the moment day trip. With no preparations, we were thankful that there was a restaurant that actually serves good food. You can order as you go in and just let them know where you will be situated in the resort and they will go and deliver your food once it's ready. Just a little word of caution, their servings are big. We were 5 and we ordered several dishes thinking we had 3 guys. But even with them, we were unable to finish our food. We had grilled squid, tokwa't baboy, kilawin na tanigue, ensaladang talong and an order each of sinigang na tanigue and hipon. And boy, we were already turning blue in our faces and still couldn't manage to finish it. Back to the cove, you do have to pay for an entrance fee. But if you're a guest at Costa Pacifica, you get a discount. I think that's such a good idea for maintenance of the property. We did notice that the resort was well maintained. The grounds were clean, as well as the beach. The only thing I didn't like about it was tour boats are able to access the property from the beach. And with that, these tour boats bring litter and even crude oil to the beach. Hopefully, they would be able to do something about that. I would say early in the morning would be the best time to go there to avoid the tour boats and stay until lunch. read more

This place is perfect for nature lovers. The cove is very private and nice. This cove is not for the faint hearted thou cause it is quite a trip to go there. The road is concrete but there are portions where you go up a zigzag road with tight turns fit for just one car to go up the mountain and back down the cove. No worries thou cause there are guards who radio from up the mountain and down the cove to check for safe passage. The facilities are very basic so don't expect pinacoladas and beach loungers. They have a small restaurant but there are also picnic tables you can use if you want to bring your own food. This place is a must see not just for the beauty of the cove but also for the experience on the way to go there. read more
