Masasa
Beach is a public beach located in Tingloy Island in the province of
Batangas. It’s very accessible since the island is just 3 hours away from the
Metro Manila. It’s highly recommended for those island hoppers who are in a
tight budget because it has no entrance fee and some amenities are also free.
Masasa Beach can still be considered as Virgin Island because it
still has no commercialized establishments such as restaurant, hotel and other
money maker businesses. No fancy activities her but you will enjoy your stay
here by just walking along the coastline, enjoying the clear water of the sea
and embracing the silence of the entire place.
If features a semi-white sand with a bit of broken coral debris and
pebbles. The water is really clear and rich in sea creatures such as sea
urchin, crab, sea cucumber and many more.

Masasa Beach is not that beautiful just like the other beaches of
Batangas. Since the beach is open for public and it’s free, it’s already abused
and the garbage in some part of the beach is very alarming. No one is taking
good care or even monitoring the status of the beach.
