Canyon Cove in Nasugbu, Batangas is a two and a half drive away from Manila via South Luzon Expressway on an ordinary day. Expect to add another hour on your travel time though, especially on a weekend where traffic is sometimes heavy southbound. The Canyon Cove beach’s white sand and clear water is likeable, though swimming just a few meters away, it already gets rocky. If you don’t like to swim, you can go kayaking, jetskiing or snorkeling just ask the staff of Canyon Cove.
