Kite Spot Bulabog Beach - Philippines

Description

Generally, the best time to travel is from the middle of December to the middle of May (off-season for typhoons). It's hot all year round. The water is warm and no wetsuit is needed.

Flat to choppy water. Outside on the reef small waves. Need booties, many sea-urchins or just keep your feet on the board. Long but narrow, sandy beach. Trees close to the water line.

Rules:

In the winter months surfing is only on Bulabog Beach, not White Beach. ALL lagoon users must register with the BWA. A $10 annual joining fee to kite in the lagoon is enforced and has been set up to raise funds for medical evacuation. Safety is enforced and those no obeying the rules will have to kite elsewhere. The BWA was formed to prevent a further BAN on kitesurfing as happened in 2004.

How to go there

Basically the only way to get to the Philippines is by plane. Manila and Cebu are the only major entry points. There are flights between the Philippines and plenty of Asian cities, Australia, New Zealand and the USA. There are also flights between Davao in Mindanao and Manado on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. The island is really small, 1 km wide and 7 km long. You can cycle around quite easily or hire a dirt bike to see the island. The local transport is a bicycle with a side cart. These are everywhere and are really cheap - don't take the first price offered

Nightlife

Fun ambient bars with heaps of restaurants. Super cheap prices. Nightlife at: Hey Judes, Summer Place and Paradiso.
