"As the golden sun kisses the sparkling waters of Calatagan's shoreline during the daytime, a symphony of colors dances across the horizon, painting a picture of serenity and beauty that words can hardly capture. The gentle waves caress the sandy shores, whispering tales of tranquility and peace to all who listen."
"In the embrace of Calatagan's shoreline during the daytime, one can feel the warmth of the sun's rays on their skin, hear the soothing melody of the waves lapping at the shore, and witness the ebb and flow of life in perfect harmony with nature. It is a place where time stands still, and worries fade away, leaving only a sense of peace and contentment in its wake."
"At sunset, the shoreline of Calatagan, Batangas transforms into a masterpiece of nature's finest artistry. The sky is ablaze with hues of pink, purple, and gold, casting a soft glow over the calm waters below. As the sun dips below the horizon, it leaves behind a trail of shimmering reflections that mirror the beauty of the world above."
Still, looking for a not too far, cheap, clean, nature-children-pet friendly, photo/IG-worthy place this summer vacation?
Manuel Uy is the resort!
A 3 hours drive from Manila (if you have your own car and exit via Kaybiang Tunnel along Ternate-Nasugbu Highway) located in Barangay Sta. Ana, Calatagan Batangas. I kinda loved how this place is too close to Manila yet unspoiled with clean waters, fine sands, and a very long clean shoreline.
The Entrance fee for this resort has been changed starting 15 February 2018. From Php 50.00 now to Php 100.00 for a day tour. And for overnight from Php 100.00 now to Php 200.00 this is due to some renovations made in this resort which is commendable and price worthy increase.
Manuel Uy Beach Resort boasted their long yellowish shoreline which I really really like, clean clear water, and of course cheap resort fee. What I also liked in this place is the simplicity it provides- as in No cottages, No air-conditioned rooms, or even Kubo to stay (like a cozy resort place has). We did enjoy sleeping in a tent during our stay in this place which gives me more fun and adventure for me my kiddos.
The newly built CR and Shower room is a plus now for this resort. No need to line up for so long and pay you every use in those old, small CR this resort only have way back then. The outside shower area is also a plus since this lessens the time you will spend falling in line.
I also like how friendly and helpful the staff in this resort from the registration down to the tent builder and security. If you fall short of your cellphone battery life- do not fret they do have a Charging station located at the very entrance of the camping site and of course with a fee.

The sunset view from this resort is indeed LOVELY and Breathtaking!
I actually enjoyed taking my pictures in a silhouette effect.
