Adventure trip to Baun, Batangas

Batangas beaches is the most sought summer get away destination because it is not so distant from Manila. Aside from the fact that it has numerous stunning white sand beaches with crystal clear waters. We have been visited a lot of beaches in Batangas from budget friendly to high end resorts. I remember the first time we went there, we didn't plan which resort to go,it was like a spur of the moment decisions.We just had a joy ride and while on our way to Batangas, we looked for a resort where we could spend a day trip. Roughly two hrs we reached the town of Baun, along the highway we saw a signage "this way to coconut hill resort" so we followed the direction to turned right. At first the road was good enough, but as we went along, it became steep and narrow just enough for one vehicle to pass, its almost 1 hour of driving on a hilly terrain but we haven't see a signage again that we are approaching to that resort,we realized we are deceive by a misleading signage, we thought it's just close from the highway, but it's late to go back because we spent too much time already so we decided to push through. After almost 2 hrs, we reached the secluded  up in the mountain resort at around 4 pm.The end of the road is the jump off point of the resort. There was no guest except us,it's like we rented the whole resort. The beach was quiet, surrounded by coconut trees, plants and flowers somehow it's a relief seeing this kind of atmosphere. We enjoyed swimming,despite of occasional big waves that hits us. We walked along the shore and pick up some sea shells and colorful stones. The stretch of the beach is rocky, it's like pebbled beach, but the seashore is sandy and ivory white. It's almost dark when we stop swimming. We had our dinner and then drank a little wine while chitchatting. Actually there was no cottages for overnight guests there but the owner of the resort offered us their extra room for rent, but we decided to just sleep in the open cottage with wide tables and benches inside. The night was so cold, we could feel the cool breeze of air seeping into our body. It was such a funny experience but we enjoyed it to the fullest.

 It was nice and enjoyable trip indeed! If you're looking for an adventure, going here is an adventure within itself  as you will pass remote areas and  hilly terrain of the road, but still it was fun.
