We had scarcely settled into our seats on a balmy Thursday when our sea taxi broke the mid-morning silence at Edna’s Beach and Campsite. Swiftly motoring across the mildly turbulent blue waters, we were soon on our way to our first destination. In less than 15 minutes we found ourselves in the middle of a vast sandbar, with patches of white sand rising slightly above a now calm, crystal-clear turquoise sea.
We’ve had the beaches of Calatagan, Batangas on our bucket list for some time but it was only late last year that we finally got to visit one. Despite its proximity to Metro Manila, it was only in recent years that it had begun to draw more visitors to its nearly white sand beaches.
The highlands of Tagaytay which offer a scenic view of Taal Lake and Volcano from its multitude of cafes and restaurants are just minutes away from our place. So, when taking visiting friends from Metro Manila on a tour around our locality, Tagaytay is often the first option. But as it often happens, most of them have been to Tagaytay numerous times already. Fortunately, a place that just opened in 2022 has proven to be an option that can satisfy both their eyes and their palates.
