SUBIC BAY

Safari
Bataan
small island known as the
Central Business District
, while on the
mainland
to the south
lie the beaches and most of the outdoor activities, theme parks and attractions; there
are several smaller barangays here with tourist attractions, including
Cubi
, on the slopes
above the airport.
To the north of the CBD, linked by gates and bridges across the drainage channel
(the
Main Gate
is also known as the Magsaysay Gate),
OLONGAPO CITY
lies outside
the Freeport Zone but is generally considered part of the Subic Bay area. It is a
typical Philippine provincial town, streets crammed with stalls and smoke-belching
tricycles. This is where the bus terminals are located, but you won't spend much
time here otherwise. Finally, around 5km north of Olongapo along the coast (also
outside the Freeport Zone),
Barrio Barretto
is gradually shaking off its go-go bar
days, though it still attracts its share of the ageing expat/Filipina “girlfriend” scene.
Nearby
Baloy Long Beach
is a better place to crash, a laidback row of bars and hotels
right on the sand.
Most travellers come to Subic Bay for the
wreck diving
, which is superb (see box,
p.128), but there are plenty of peaceful, clean
beaches
inside the former base if you
just want to chill out (see box, p.125).
