Coastal Batangas

Calatagan shores and sandbars

Shallow tidal flats, sheltered reefs, and traditional wooden balsa rafts define our western peninsula waters under bright maritime sunlight and calm morning tides.

Natural Sanctuaries

Protected marine destinations

Tidal Sandbar

Little Boracay Sandbar

Emerging during mid-morning low tides, this wide ivory sandbar offers knee-deep shallows stretching hundreds of meters offshore, ideal for wading and family swim breaks.

Marine Haven

Starfish Island Sanctuary

A thriving seagrass bed and shallow marine habitat where hundreds of native chocolate-chip sea stars rest undisturbed beneath translucent coastal waters.

Mangrove Reserve

Ang Pulo Ecopark

Over seven hectares of protected mangrove nurseries threaded by raised bamboo boardwalks, sheltering juvenile marine life and indigenous migratory coastal birds.
