| The view of the golden sunset of Burot Beach. |
Burot Beach is a perfect place to relax and experience adventure. Situated in the Municipality of Calatagan, Batangas—just a few hours' travel from Metro Manila—it offers fine yellowish sand and a calm ambiance while the sunset is truly magical. History: This beach was formerly known as Elizalde Beach because it was owned by a wealthy clan in the Philippines and then bought by the SM Group of Companies.
How we got to Burot Beach: Our weekend adventure was a challenge. The original plan was to commute, but we changed our minds and brought a private vehicle. None of us don't have an idea where Burot Beach is but Waze helped us. Our route was on C5 to SLEX, passing on the highways of Tagaytay, Nasugbu town proper, and the Calatagan Public Market. As far as I can remember, we passed by a cemetery and on a rough road to the beach. Arrival was at around 2:30 PM. Parked the vehicle. Settled the entrance and other fees.
The beach has semi-fine creamy-colored sand, kissed by the clear waters. Living creatures like fish, crabs, starfish, seagrass, and some other mollusks. While there was sunlight, we pitched our tents and prepared our food for dinner.
While walking by the beach, I was astounded by the gorgeous sunset. The wind was cool, and darkness started embracing the area. The blue skies covered by the cirrus clouds transformed into powerful orangey skies, creating an amazing horizon. The trees and rock formations also formed a perfect silhouette against the beautiful background.
