BUROT BEACH, CALATAGAN BATANGAS

A remote beach located along the shores of Calatagan, Batangas, formerly known as "Elizalde beach" but now a private property of SM Group of Companies is an undeveloped, unspoiled and peaceful beach.  It has a stretch of semi-fine cream sand beach kissed by calm waters, beautiful rock formations and dotted with trees. As one of the nice beaches near Manila, it's a favorite beach destination among weekenders and those who seek a quick weekend getaway. It's a beach enjoyed most by people who appreciate tranquility, peace and natural beauty. It’s still open for public so if you’re planning to visit the place, make it soon before SM totally close the property to construct a Beach resort and Golf Course.

It is one of the beaches where you can relax because of the fact that it is unknown to many. The whole place is undeveloped, unspoilt, and peaceful. There are no vendors who will keep on bugging you to buy souvenir shirts, keychains, or pearls. There are no bars, no stores, no colored flags; everything is just so raw!

The color of the sand in Burot is not really white compared to Boracay nor Calaguas. However, the color varies from white, to dirty white, or to somewhat gold all throughout the day. With its clear water, Burot is a home for a lot of sea creatures such as starfish, sea urchins, and sea snakes.

It has been a year since we had a reunion and now for 2014. We met us at Vicente P. Memorial School where we graduated elementary. We planned it several times with my classmate Mary Gene, the one who decidedly to have this for a second time reunion. I made an itinerary for them since I'm the one who knows that place and who suggests to go there. At 7:00 am we left the school.

As of 11:00 AM, I never thought that was overcrowded and unheard-of . Since that is a summer vacation and weekend some of the camping area are occupied but good thing of that we still found a place under the tree.

 After setting up our tents, we decided to sit back and to prepare for our lunch.

 While I'm waiting for lunch..The sun was still too hot
for us to go swimming so ice-cream mode muna.

Lunch time before we get to Islang Puting Buhangin while
were waiting to our pa-VIP classmate Richard Acebuche because he's late.

Island Hopping

And now, it's time to shine hahahaha! I mean time to go in Islang Puting Buhangin. First bound, where the star fish is located and I was amazed and overwhelmed with their appearance because they're tricky & bulky
