Looking for a place to relax and
at the same time wants to experience adventure? Burot Beach is the perfect
place for you. It is situated in the Municipality of Calatagan, Batangas – just
few hours travel from Metro Manila. It is another spot that this province can
be proud of. History: Burot Beach was formerly
known as Elizalde Beach, because it was previously owned by Elizalde family - a
wealthy clan in the Philippines and then bought by the SM Group of Companies. Today,
it is privately owned by the SM Group and still open to public.
BUROT BEACH TRAVEL GUIDE AND ITINERARY: HOW TO GET HERE, REMINDERS AND WHERE TO STAY:
Our weekend adventure was challenge;
original plan was to commute but we changed our minds and
brought a private vehicle. None of us don't have an idea where Burot Beach is, but Waze application helped us.
Our route was on C5, to SLEX, passing on the highways of Tagaytay, Nasugbu town proper and to Calatagan Public Market. As far as I can remember, we passed by the cemetery and on a rough road to Burot
beach.
We arrived at Burot Beach at 2:30 PM. Parked the vehicle. Settled the entrance and other
fees.
BUROT BEACH AND ITS STUNNING SUNSET:
The beach has semi-fine creamy colored sand, kissed by the clear waters. Living creatures like fish, crab, starfish, sea grass and some other mollusks. While there’s sun light, we pitched our tents and prepared our food for dinner.
While walking by the beach, I was
astounded by the gorgeous sun set (photos above). The wind was cool while the
darkness started embracing the area. The blue skies covered by the cirrus
clouds transformed into a powerful orangey skies which creates an amazing
horizon. The trees and the rock formations also formed a perfect silhouette
with the beautiful background.
