Calatagan, Batangas, Philippines
Aside from its famous butterfly and pen knives, flavorful barako coffee, and the Taal Lake, Batangas is known for its beautiful beaches—some of the best are said to be in the municipality of Calatagan.
Approximately 125 kilometers away from Metro Manila, Calatagan is the southwesternmost area of the Batangas province. It is the perfect vacation spot where you can escape the stressful and fast-paced lifestyle in the city since it is only a two-hour drive away from Manila. And because of its remarkable beaches, Calatagan has numerous resorts you can choose from and other establishments where you can let off steam.
A famous resort in Calatagan is Puesto del Sol, where you can enjoy the beautiful sunset view by the beach or relax in their huge infinity pool. Another is Cortijo del Charro, a Moorish, Mediterranean and Mexican-style resort where the family can enjoy boating, sightseeing and touring its nearby areas. But if you want a more extreme vacation, you can try wakeboarding, wakeskating and waterskiing at Lago de Oro Ski Park and Resort.
Nature-lovers or those who want to have a "Castaway-Tom Hanks" kind of experience can visit the remote Burot Beach. There is no electricity, accommodations, and restaurants available in the area. Just bring your own supplies and tent, pay the small fee, and the immaculate white sand and water are all yours.
Apart from being frequented by weekend getaway lovers, Calatagan is also visited both by the local and international elite when it hosts golf and polo tournaments.
By Land
To get to Calatagan from Metro Manila, you need to travel by land. To date, Celyrosa Bus Lines has buses, both air conditioned and ordinary types, that offer direct trips from Manila to this peninsula on the western side of Batangas. They are found in Coastal Mall in Pasay City, and travel time takes roughly about three to four hours.
Alternatively, you can also choose to ride a bus bound for Nasugbu, which is about 33 kilometers north of Calatagan. Ask the bus driver or the conductor to drop you off at Lian Market. From there, you can ride a public jeepney headed to Calatagan town proper.
There are also public utility vans that can take you to Calatagan. They are found near the EDSA–Taft MRT Station, alongside the bus terminals in the area.
How to Get Around
When in Calatagan, the tricycle is your best friend. It is the most popular public transportation in the area and can efficiently take you from one place to another.
What to See
Calatagan is laden with beach resorts where you can enjoy that much-needed break from the metro’s hustle and bustle. The town boasts white sand beaches that are pleasing to the eye and can entice anyone to just sit down and admire the view. The town was also once referred to as the “Forbes Park of the South,” given the multitude of privately-owned estates by some of the Philippines’ elite.
Landmarks
Start off your adventure in this peninsular town with a visit to its century-old landmark, the Cape Santiago Lighthouse. Also known as the Calatagan Lighthouse, Punta de Santiago, or Faro de Punta Santiago, this 51-foot structure is responsible for guiding seafarers as they pass through Verde Island, San Bernardino Strait, and Manila Bay. And from high above the lighthouse, a spectacular aerial view of Calatagan will surely dazzle you.
In the midst of Barangay Quilitisan lies Ang Pulo—the Calatagan Mangrove Forest and Conservation Park. The park boasts a lush mangrove area and fascinating flocks of birds that nature lovers will simply fall in love with. Depending on the tide conditions, guests can even use a kayak or a stand-up paddle board to traverse the length of the mangrove.

The highlight of the water park is the three-story giant slide, where guests will ride on a water tube that circles its way down to a six-feet pool below.
If you are into history, then a visit to the Museo de Enrique Zobel is highly recommended for you. The museum gives you a glimpse into the life and the legacy of Don Enrique Zobel, one of Manila’s most celebrated businessman, polo player, and philanthropist. The museum also displays the town’s artifacts and memorabilia, providing visitors a glimpse of Calatagan’s local history and arts.
