Best Beach less than 5 hours from Manila

**kotiko** · April 7th, 2005 12:48 PM

Got a couple of questions guys...

I'm looking for the best beach we could find in Batangas thats not pricey. I'm considering La Luz or White Cove. Pwede ba dito tumambay sa beach kahit madaling araw? Ok lang ba magsmoke and drink beer diyan kahit lagpas 10pm na? How about the quality of water and sand there? I read also dun sa La Luz kailangan mo magavail ng P800 food package, is this true? Pwede bang hindi? Please give reviews naman about La Luz, White Cove, and other similar ones.

Target namin for this trip is just to relax, with the most minimal people around. Barkada bonding lang, some place na maganda at di magulo.

Meron pa bang ibang choices besides the ones I mentioned? Meron ba kayong alam na mga virgin beaches/islands thats just less than 5 hours away?

Also, a prof of mine told me about "Potipot Island", that is somewhere in Zambales. Google it nalang, looks like a nice place to get away. Meron bang somewhere na less than 5 hours away from Manila na parang get-away beach without fees or anything? Yung tipong gastos mo lang yung boat papunta dun? Have any of you guys discovered such places? Yung maganda beach.

Thanks guys! Planning to go the 1st week of May.

Sulit sa Laluz. You pay for the food all you can eat breakfast lunch dinner masarap!
Me and my co-workers went outing there.

Mahirap lang daan. medyo rough road partly.

Sabi ng kaibigan ko mga 10 kms. daw rough road, is this true? I last went there in 1981 wala pa ngang resorts diyan eh, medyo forgot how long the stretch of rough roads were, natandaan ko lang maraming bridges, siguro more than 15.

How about Baywatch resort in Real, Quezon?

The most hazardous beach in Quezon.
That was our favorite spot hangout during the late 90's.

Odell,
Despite the fact that there are many dead people washed a shore by the recent typhoon in that part of the region, Real Quezon is known for unpredictable waves and underwater trenches. Almost every year, lots of tourists end up 6 feet under. Be careful as you are against the Pacific Ocean.

Nakapunta na kami dito, facilities are okay naman kaya lang pool lang kami kasi low tide that time. Beach is quite ok not so white sand pero mabawbaw lang di naman masyado mabato pero dami starfish and may portions na marami seaweeds. They have a resto which serves good food din. Day tour is 250 php, oks yung mga cottages nila kasi nasa may sea tapos may hagdan pababa sa dagat (kaya lang ma sea weed sa parteng yun). Na ocular namin some cottages (d2 kasi comp outing nila mrs) and ok naman, may veranda with hammock airconed room na may parang attic type na 2nd floor. Medyo rough road nga lang once u get off the town proper mga 2 kms long ata (buti na lang delica dala namin) so medyo kawawa kotse lalo pag puno

anilao? pang scuba diving lang dun wala naman beach dun eh. yung mga resorts dun mabato ang so called "beach" dun. pag hindi ka marunong lumangoy wag ka punta dun. after only 5-6 meters from shore biglang lalim, as in parang 5 ft deep then 1 more step 100 ft deep na! snorkel ka tignan mo, after a few feet from where you are suddenly the sea floor vanishes and black na, parang abyss!
