[2025 Batangas Attraction] Travel Guide for Masasa Beach (Updated May)

Masasa Beach is arguably the best beach in Tingloy, the only municipality in Batangas that is not on mainland Luzon. Its main island is the fish-shaped Maricaban, off the tip of Calumpang Peninsula separating Balayan Bay from Batangas Bay. The truth is, the sand here isn’t as pearly white as what you would expect in Boracay or Palawan, but what Masasa Beach lacks in the brightness of its sand it makes up for in the vibrance of waves. Its crystal clear, shallow waters give off a beautiful turquoise shimmer, something that will catch your attention even from a great distance. #timetotravel #batangas #philippines

Departed from Manila. Take a bus from Cubabao Terminal to Mabini... About 20 minutes by boat from Mabini. The sunset was so beautiful. There are no modern resorts or hotels. However, you can experience friendly people and local Filipino culture firsthand. The downside is that the accommodation is a bit expensive and there are occasional power outages. #Batangas #Philippines sea

Sunny and beautiful beach after you walk from a field of farm and with an open sky and wide open beach. The rock area behind the restaurants and bamboo hubs in the west side is stunning with sunset views. Local people are friendly and welcoming. Tricycles are the main transportation on the island. Beautiful experience, would stay for longer next time!

Story time Went home to my own country to have fun and relax. Met my family and boyfriend in the airport. We planned to go batangas few weeks prior but still dont have definite place on which area til that moment. We went like "lets just go to batangas to wherever nice beach is"😁 Its all our first time to go there. So, took the bus from pasay then went on the bus station going to batangas, then went to jeepney station going to port for masasa beach. We're not afraid to ask, we're not afraid to get lost. Sometimes sudden plan works rather than the planned one. We're tired, sleepless but we are excited for what we are about to see. After the boat ride, tricyle then finally, the white sand beach of masasa. The tiredness in travelling were replaced with joy and big smile on our faces. We stayed in a kubo house few meters away from the beach, where you can just go and swim whenever you want too. We also did Island hoping. The view was fantasic #unplannedtrip #amazingbeach #whitesandbeach

A really quick overnight getaway at Masasa Beach
