About Masasa Beach

Masasa Beach is located at Tingloy, the only island municipality in Batangas, a hidden beach in the province of Batangas. Most people don’t know that this pristine beach exists because it’s not on mainland Luzon. But once you go here, you’ll appreciate nature’s beauty because of little to no man-made structure. Be sure to visit this place while it’s unspoiled!
