Summer’s here, and going to the beach is always a favorite pastime. But not everyone enjoys the droves of beachgoing crowds. Luckily, you don’t need to travel far to enjoy some peace and quiet. Forget about Cebu, Palawan, or Boracay for a moment because we’ve got scenic uncrowded beaches you can visit from Manila to have your weekend getaway ASAP. Check them out below!

 

Burot Beach (Calatagan, Batangas)

Fine beige sand and calm waters make Burot Beach in Calatagan, Batangas, a tropical heaven for anyone who needs some de-stressing. You’re surrounded by rich foliage and a long stretch of sand that’s perfect for a quiet stroll. There are also giant rocks to sit on, with no overlooking structures to distract your view of the glorious sunset. It’s really just you and mother nature!

 


Cagbalete Island (Lamon Bay, Quezon)

Being in Cagbalete Island feels like getting disconnected from the progressive chaos of Metro Manila. Wildlife enthusiasts will love its diverse ecosystem where a unique variety of birds and aquatic species thrive. You also won’t run out of activities to do like bird watching, island hopping, or even snorkeling.

 

Sepoc Beach (Maricaban Island, Batangas)

At first glance, Sepoc Beach looks like a beautiful painting that came to life. The scenery is just breathtaking, with crystal clear waters and lush greenery that you can take countless pictures of for the ‘gram. There are no cafes or restaurants nearby, so it’s best to pack your own snacks before coming here. The beach is spacious enough to hold fun picnics or some volleyball action.

Dinadiawan Beach (Dipaculao, Aurora)

If you and your friends are still debating where to go this summer, Dinadiawan Beach might help settle the discussion. Everyone will love the serene atmosphere and view of mountains from afar. You can now live the island life of your dreams because it’s less crowded compared to Sabang Beach. Plus, the waves are calmer, which makes it ideal for snorkeling or cooling afternoon dip.

 

Malabrigo Beach (Lobo, Batangas)

While most beaches are blessed with chalk-white sand, a shore of pebbles will greet you upon arriving at Malabrigo Beach. You can’t obviously build sandcastles here, but it’s relaxing enough for you to bask in the sun. Walk further, and you can visit the historic Malabrigo Lighthouse, one of the oldest working lighthouses in the Philippines. Just watch your steps to avoid any accidents.

 


Dampalitan Beach (Padre Burgos, Quezon)

Whether you want to swim, sunbathe, or put up a tent, you can do all of that at Dampalitan Beach. This camping haven will test your survival skills, so you better have medicines and other travel essentials. Locals installed a net that acts as a barrier to prevent beachgoers from getting stung by jellyfish. Of course, you can’t go camping without some stargazing session to end the night. There are resorts as well if you prefer sleeping on a comfy bed.

 

Magalawa Island (Palauig, Zambales)

It’s not that hard to fall in love with Magalawa Island. The coconut trees lining up the shore, emerald-green waves, and the perfect summer weather give a much-relaxed vibe. Beachgoers can enjoy a zen atmosphere that you won’t find in the metro. There’s a pristine sandbar pleading for a visit, with nipa huts where you can relax for the rest of your afternoon.

 

Talisayen Cove (San Antonio, Zambales)

A post shared by Pau 📷 🇵🇭 (@mrpauranoid)


Zambales is one of the prime destinations for beach-hopping, and you should include Talisayen Cove on your itinerary if you’re planning to do one. You can feel the cool sea breeze as you admire the lovely scenery. Going here feels like entering a paradise where there’s nothing but you and peace. If you still don’t have a destination for your next family outing, this picturesque beach is the place to go.
