Batangas beaches' proximity and economically friendliness makes a less hassle getaway for most beach-lovers of the metro. Perfect for a quickie overnighter - a just-to-feel-the-sun-on-your-bum-then-go home-the-next-day type of trip. 2 weekends ago, I went to Lian, Matabungkay, Batangas for just that. 2 days later…… I LEFT. But I did leave something behind though, (no no, it wasn’t my heart) an F YOU and a piece of skin scraped from my heel.
The beach was dirty-looking (black sand anyone?) but tolerable, the crowd however, WASN’T. So we took off, rode a boat to a nearby island which somewhat looked better from a distance, well, at least we had the beach for ourselves, but alas, there's a reason why noone else was there, (no, not NPAs, well, I didn’t see any) but the sand was a mixture of rock, corral and anything spiky and hard that your beach-head can imagine. So much so that 2 minutes into the water, a huge coral conveniently (sarcasm) found the heel of my foot, sticking maybe a quarter of an inch of its white spiky glory into my heel.
So, if you’re looking for a cool beach spot in batangas, cross tha M-A-T-A-B-….. off ya list. Matabungkay is dead.
