  It is still open for the public until further notice .

 So, if you're planning to visit Burot, make it soon!

 

Burot beach is a remote beach located along the shores of Calatagan, Batangas. 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.

Burot Beach in Calatagan Batangas, formerly known as "Elizalde beach" but now a private property of SM Group of Companies is an undeveloped, unspoiled and peaceful beach. Getting there from Alabang is roughly 3 hours drive passing by Tagaytay and towns of Lian, Balayan and Calatagan Batangas.  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.
 

 
Before going to Burot Beach, you must first get in touch with kuya johnny 0921-277-9015 or 0905-226-8839 tricycle driver of this private property that can help you in renting tents and other additional queries.  It’s your choice if you want to stay for just a day tour trip which will cost you 65 pesos only while 130 pesos for an overnight stay. You can also rent a nipa hut (good for 6 to 8), table or tent ranging from 500 to 800 pesos. No need to worry if you are bringing your own vehicle because the whole place is so spacious that you can even park your car beside the nipa hut of your choice and most of all parking is free. Cottages and rooms are not available in the area so if you are planning to have an overnight stay make sure you have your tents with you otherwise you can rent some tents for 300 pesos.  Moreover, there is no electricity in Burot beach but there are available bonfire woods (200  pesos per bundle) that you can use to be your light the whole night.  Two public toilets and two showers are available in the area but with slow flowing faucet. Since Burot beach is now discovered by many, I do hope that management can add more toilet facilities for visitor’s convenience. Also be ready if some fishermen will offer you an island hopping to the nearest sand bar for 120 pesos per head. I'm sure you enjoyed the view and the clear water.

How to Get There:
by Public Transportation (a.k.a. Commute) from manila...

You can either take a bus or a van to Calatagan.
By Van - There are vans available going to Calatagan near the KABAYAN HOTEL MRT Taft Station. Fare is Php180.00/pax. Travel time is approximately 3 to 4 hours. At Calatagan Market, hire a tricycle for Ph200.00 or Php50.00 per person.
By Bus - Bus Terminal is located AT COASTAL MALL the grand terminal. Fare is Php180.00. Travel time is approximately 3 to 4 hours. Calatagan-bound buses are available daily, first trip is 4:00 AM. Ask the conductor to drop you off at Calatagan Market. At Calatagan Market, hire a tricycle for Php200.00 minimum fare or Php50.00 per person.
Note: Tricycle ride will be around 20 minutes only.
by Private Vehicle
1. From Manila, take Coastal Road or SLEX (South Luzon Express Way). Drive all the way to Nasugbu, Batangas until you reach a junction or rotonda. At the junction, take the right turn going to Lian; a Caltex Gasoline Station will serve as your landmark.
2. Drive straight ahead. After passing the CADP (Central Azucarera Don Pedro) Sugar Refinery, take a left at the intersection (Landmarks: Shell and I-Gas Gasoline Stations).
3. Drive straight ahead. Once you see Sto. Domingo Church, turn right.
4. You'll pass through a small public market (Talipapa), then a cemetery. From there, you'll see signs going to Burot Beach. :)
Note: I will not give any more directions from here, because getting lost and asking locals where Burot Beach is, are definitely part of the fun. Try it!
Burot Beach, at last!
Burot Beach was previously called as the Elizalde Beach (owned by the Elizaldes, an affluent family in the Philippines), but was recently bought by SM. Now, Burot Beach is a private property of SM Group of Companies; good news, it is still open for the public until further notice. So, if you're planning to visit Burot, make it soon!

  2. How to Get There

    BurotBeach is located in Calatagan, a small municipality in Batangas. It is 3-4 hours travel from Metro Manila. You can get there in either public or private transportation.

    How to Go to Burot Beach Using a Private Car?

    From Manila go south passing Tagaytay and taking the Nasugbu Road.
    Upon arriving at the Nasugbu-Lian intersection, take the Lian route and go straight.
    After the town Lian, you will reach Calatagan Municipality.
    From there, the best thing to do is ask the locals about directions that lead to Burot Beach. I cannot provide the best route to burot beach.

    You will enter two gates with guards covered in SM uniforms. You will know that you have already entered a private property. Do not worry, it's still open to the public, unless stated otherwise by the owner.

    Things to Remember

    Bring a headlamp, flashlight, candle, whatever you please to create a light. There is no electricity in the area.
    The little sari-sari store, NOT a convenience store in the area is the only source of commodities available. Do your grocery at the market before heading to the place.
    Do not expect a grand accommodation because there is none. There are neither rooms nor decent toilets. You will have to bring your own tent because either of the cottages can give you decent sleep. There is a water supply but I do not think it is potable.
    You will see starfishes of different colors and sizes, you can touch them but refrain from bringing them off the shore. They are beautiful; let them live. And so are the other creatures you will see.
    You can agree when the boatman offered “island hopping” for Php120.00 per head. Do not, if its beyond that price as what he is offering is really not an island hopping. Yes, he will bring you to away from the shore, but drop you off to the sandbar that appears during low tide.
