Olongapo City Travel Forum

i am going to bring some balikbayan friend to olongapo and subic i wanted a detailed guide on how to get there from manila were travelling by car

Take the North Expressway and exit at San Fernando. Head towards Bataan for about an hour then when you reach Dinalupihan look out for the soldiers' monument at the right. Turn right on the intersection as this leads to Olongapo. About 20-30 mins. further you will see a left turn sign towards Subic; going straight will bring you to Olongapo.

thank you so much for the tip!!!!!

I got this info from WaypointsDotPH and it was contributed by EPPGarcia 2002. I hope this helps you get to Subic and its environs:

From Manila, take the North Expressway and exit at San Fernando. From the San Fernando exit, head southwestward towards Olongapo City. About 33km from San Fernando or about 3km from the Bataan/Pampanga boundary, you will see the Layak junction. This junction has a monument made of statues of soldiers at war. Turn right at this junction (northwest) and head for Olongapo City.

About 14km from the Layak junction, you will hit the junction that leads to SBMA. Turn left at this junction, this will take you through the nice, winding, uphill/downhill roads of the SBMA Expressway/Tollway (about 8.5km) to the SBMA districts.

Soon as you hit the first major intersection at SBMA, follow the signs that lead to the Subic Base International Airport (SBIA). This should take you through the Argonaut Highway and right alongside the airport runway. A few meters after the airport control tower, there will be an intersection. Turn right (northwest) and barely 300 meters from the intersection you will see Dungaree Beach on your left. About 2km farther (around the runway) is the All Hands Beach and about half a kilometer more is Officers Beach.
