The municipality is nestled in the province of Batangas, less than two hours west of Batangas City, and offers plenty of things to do. It is famous for its natural beauty and, of course, its idyllic beaches that beach lovers and those who want to escape the bustle of city life would surely appreciate. Burot Beach, with its clear waters and cream-colored sand, is a small beach that allows camping. Another worthy attraction is Cape Santiago, which lets you take in the charm of Pagapas Bay on the east and the South China Sea on the west. The cape also boasts a historic lighthouse. To gain insight into the history of Calatagan, stop by Museo De Enrique Zobel. The museum also displays exhibits featuring the late Don Enrique Zobel, a prominent Spanish-Filipino businessman and philanthropist. For a blissful getaway, read on to learn about the best beach resorts in Calatagan, Philippines.
Unique places to visit in Calatagan:
Calatagan Golf Club: If you’re looking to golf on your beach vacation, head to Calatagan Golf Club. The 18-hole par-72 course is situated against the sea, so you’re sure to have a scenic game here. However, as a private club, you need to be accompanied by a member in order to enter the course.
Calatagan’s Underwater Pyramids: Begun as a coral rehabilitation project, these underwater pyramids have become a favorite spot for divers and are also safe hatching areas for fish as the coral grows around the looming pyramids. Philstar estimates that there are about 10 underwater pyramids built so far in Calatagan, and I’d love to explore all of them!

Beach life in Calatagan, Philippines
Calatagan is a peninsula and offers a spectacular shoreline, though much of its beaches are dominated by resorts. Manuel Uy Beach and Calatagan South Beach are some examples, and you can have a fun time here if you don’t mind paying the dues. Burot Beach is another option and you can even camp by the sea here, a prospect I’d love to try out! However, it is unsure at this time whether the beach is closed to the public, so best to check with the locals before heading down to this remote beach.
Avoid the rainy season, which runs from June to October in Batangas, when planning a beach vacation in Calatagan. Those who can’t get enough of the sun can plan their vacation for March and onward.

- "The sea breeze was non stop during our stay (April) and it made the temperature in the cottage nice and cozy. The beach is shallow for a long stretch and probably deepens abruptly based on the color of the water but you don't need to go to the deep part to enjoy. When we visited, the sea grass was abundant and they constantly wash up ashore but the staff cleans it regularly. Explore the areas adjacent to Sunrise Cove and you'll see lots of marine life. We saw sea urchins, starfishes, sea cucumbers, crabs and sea stars. Kids will love it." - by Google reviewer, Caloy Ang
