BALER: Charlie Does Quaint Surf Shop in Baler @CharlieDoesSurf

Charlie Does-1.jpg

Charlie Does is a quaint surf shop that offers better boards, equipment, and comfort food. It’s run by Alex Angara and her boyfriend, Joseph “Joe” Cole. 
 
Located just behind Costa Pacifica, it’s a nice HOHOL place for the evenings where you can also find artsy stuff. Check it out whenever you’re in Baler.

Overall, the ambiance is hip, the products are cool, and the food is healthy. But I think it’s only open when Alex and Joe are in town. Still, a must-visit place to shop or eat whenever you’re in Baler.

  1. Hi, how are you? Nice vacations spots in Baler. I am reading your blogs already and I didn’t know na marami palang mapupuntahan na magagandang lugar sa Pilipinas. Almost no need to travel outside the Philippines. Thanks for sharing your blogs. Have a nice day always.
