Masasa Beach, located in Tingloy, Batangas, has finally reopened its doors! This stunning and secluded beach is renowned for its crystal-clear waters and powdery white sands.
For those traveling from Cubao, Quezon City, here is a do-it-yourself itinerary to reach Masasa Beach:
1. Begin by taking a bus from Cubao (specifically along Edsa Kamias) to Batangas City Grand Terminal. The travel time typically ranges from 2 to 3 hours, depending on traffic conditions. The fare is 250 pesos per person.
2. From Batangas City Grand Terminal, board a jeepney heading towards Anilao Port. The fare for this jeepney ride is approximately 70 pesos per person. Anilao Port serves as the departure point for boats bound to Tingloy Island, where Masasa Beach is located. The journey usually takes around 30 to 45 minutes.
3. Upon reaching Anilao Port, hop aboard a passenger ferry that will take you to Tingloy Island. Boat trips are available throughout the day, but it's advisable to arrive early to secure a seat. The boat ride typically lasts between 45 minutes to 1 hour, with a ferry fare of 160 pesos.
4. Once you arrive at Tingloy Island, you can hire a tricycle or habal-habal to transport you to Masasa Beach. The ride usually takes around 20 to 30 minutes. Tricycle fare amounts to 80 pesos, which is good for 2 to 3 passengers.
5. Finally, relish your time at Masasa Beach, where you can indulge in activities such as swimming, snorkeling, sunbathing, and exploring the natural splendor of the area.
