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 can 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.
