A breeze of fresh air, you can sight the rising sun looming in the darkness. The cold wind that’s blowing your hair to the side as you look at the breath taking sight that’s infront of your eyes the crystal like waves that’s is slamming  in the light brown sand. You can hear the faint sound that the waves does it crashes in the shore every once in a while as you look over the window of the hotel that you are staying at that has the perfect view of the refreshing beach that’s known as the Baler beach. 

You see there are a lot of other things that Baler has aside from the paradise beach that has killer waves that surfers likes. It has other good points like the Baler church, the Ermita hill, the Digisit beach and the Baler Museum. 

The Baler church is a white walled with gold lining church that has a lot of history in them. The church was where the Japanese hidden in the war because of its thick walls. 

The Ermita hill is a very historic hill where the survivors of the trumba marina or tsunami went, there was just 3 families that survived that incident. On the way to the top there are statues along the hill that represents the 3 families that survived and the statues shows that they are climbing up the hill. And at the top of the hill there is a cross and it can be seen even when you’re gazing at the hill. 

The Digisit beach is one of the tourist spots because it has fine white sand and crystal clear water that captivates anyone that looks at it in first sight.

 And ofcourse the Baler church also known as the Museo de Baler it contains the history of Baler.

Baler doesn’t only have amazing sights it is also known for its festivals like the suman festival and the baler festival. During these festivals people fill the streets with booths and the road is full of colourful decorations such as the "banderitas" and the "arko" that the people call. And when these kinds of festival happen people gather in the capitol because of the exhibit that everyone made.

Baler is a place where you can relax and just enjoy yourself without restrictions. Its 8 hours away the main city giving it such a homey vibe that every tourists love.
