The last time as was there was the summer of 1997 and it was still very much a naval base.  Military buildings were still around, some cool places to see were still restricted and there were still military presence all over the base.

 

Now, Subic is very much a huge resort.  I was very much surprised on how it looks like nowadays. Old military structures are almost gone.  The beaches are awesome, lots of good places to eat, there are lots of eco-activities, theme parks, indoor and outdoor land activities.  And yes, the big bats are still there- thousands of them.  With the 4-lane SCTex, it’s only less than two hours away.

 

Just be careful when driving around Subic Bay, traffic enforcers there are very strict.  You'll get a ticket with a cracked windshield. 

 

 

 

 

 

 The SCTex where travel from Clark to Subic is only 40 Minutes.

 SCTex might not be the most scenic highway in the country but the 94km highway is definitely the longest tollway in the Philippines.

 

 

 

The Camayan Resort close to the Ocean Adventure Park.

These bats used to be at Crown Peak. They are now close to the airport.   

One of the beaches we went to - Dungalee Beach.  The floats are not for shark nets but to keep swimmers within the confines of the beach for safety purposes.

These foreign tourists are either going scuba diving,  exploring coral reefs that the Bay is blessed with. Or wreck diving into sunken vessels, wooden gunboats, or even battleships like the USS New York

All Hands Beach Resort at Cubi Point 

There is also  Subic Bay cruise like the one pictured above which includes food and one (1) hour bay cruise.  I missed this......
