  • You can park right at the beach resort of Sampaguita. Just ask them where exactly and how much.
  • The path going there is a bit narrow if you'll take a tricycle. Keep in mind that it is a mountain so it could be a bit delicate and will take less than 45 minutes to get there.
  • You'll reach the beach in less than 30 minutes
  • The transportation from Manila to Sampaguita Beach Resort is not open 24/7. It is only every 7 am and 11 am. Also, the jeep leaves earlier once it is full so make sure you have enough time to wait.

  • There are kayaks and jetski available here as mentioned by other past guests. Ask them if they still offer these if you want to try
  • Snorkeling is one of the best things to do here aside from swimming. It would be best to bring your own gear. Please contact Benjo who offers boat transfer and arranges accommodation as well via 09192975289.
  • The sand is white but not as white and powdery like that in Boracay and Caramoan but when you walk it is soft enough to massage your feet and toes.
  • There are rocky areas and sea urchins are abundant so please be careful.
  • Make sure to move around the beach because there are a lot of great spots out there. Don't just stay in one point!
  • You can taste the best halo halo in Bauan, Batangas at Ofring Kubo. It's nowhere near to the mediocre halo halo served in some places in Manila.
