The excruciating heat of summer made us plan our first stop for the summer for merely 3 days!
Together with my cool friends/co-workers, we went to Burot Beach, almost 3 hours away from Manila, one of the secret paradise in Batangas. A secret paradise because it is one of those beautiful undeveloped beaches in Calatagan and unknown to many city people. If you want a laid back, budget and casual summer getaway with friends, its the place to be!

It was almost noon when we reach Burot so we decided to take our lunch first before enjoying the water, the sea and the sand. I suggest that before reaching Burot, make sure that you have everything you need due to scarcity of stores and the town proper is approximately 30 minutes away.
Trivia: Burot Beach was recently bought by SM. Since then an entrance of 120 per pax was implemented. So if you are planning to visit, make it soon hangga't di pa sya mahal! We were very fortunate that somehow our group made it to this trip before it becomes private.
There are few trees in case you want to have a quick nap with nature, but make sure you have tents for overnight campers since there is no cottage or rooms to sleep in.
We decided to look around the island. For 40 Pesos each, boatman can take you somewhere more safe to swim and sandy white beach talaga!
Papahuli na kami sa jumpshot?
The place is a haven for backpackers and campers. There is no electricity at the beach but there is a public toilet that you can use.
From Calatagan Town Proper, you can ask the tricycle drivers how to get to Burot because they used to service travelers to the beach, in our case, we asked a few locals and they don't know where Burot is. :)
Thanks for the memories Burot! :)
