Batangas Beach Resorts - Paradise Philippines

This coral reef is located about 3.5km southeast of Laiya, offshore barangay Marulas.

Tourists and snorkelers go to this reef by hiring a boat through any of the resorts in Laiya. The boats or bancas then anchor over the sandy portions of the reef and people snorkel from the boat. The reef is barely 6 feet deep during low tides and it is so far the widest area of “unblasted” corals in Luzon.

I still believe in paradise, but now at least I know it is not some
place that you can look for because it is not where you go..

It’s how you feel for a moment in your life when you are a part
of something. And if you find that moment, it lasts forever.
“The Beach.”
