It is now one of my favorite time of the year - SUMMER. And when you think of beach getaways, Bagac may not be the first place that comes to mind. Err, you've probably never heard of Bagac in the first place.Bagac offers a back-to-basics experience. In fact, in most of the coves, you need to pinch a tent if you plan to stay overnight. There are few resorts in the area but we preferred an old-school-fun at the beach where we set-up our tent, grill our own food and chill with a beer on hand. And since the beach ain't that touristy, the serenity of the place is just priceless.
How to go there?
Buses (Genesis or Bataan Bus)leave Manila hourly and arrives at Balanga City in Bataan. From Balanga City, you need to take another bus (mini,non-aircon) to Bagac. From Bagac, you can rent tricycles that will lead you to your place of choice. You can ask the driver to drop you to either Paitan or Looc Cove where you can start your cove and beach-hopping experience.
This is so beautiful. The scenery is so superb. Love the greenery in the background too. The place is so well kept and clean too.

ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Bagac before. Your photos are really excellent, I especially adore the Sunrise shot. Everything is so crisp clear!
ReplyDeleteLooks like this place is not visited often kaya walang masyadong tao and mukhang untouched pa ang national resources.
