There are lots of beaches in Batangas, to be honest you will get confuse which one you will visit because all of them are incredibly beautiful. I try to search Batangas beaches on the internet, and I found one that catches my attention, the Sombrero Island in Anilao.

“Sombrero” means hat in Spanish. The island got its name because of its unique shape. Sombrero Island is located at the eastern tip of Tingloy Island in the province of Batangas. Sombrero Island is a mini island paradise inhabited by no one. It serves as a side trip for most tourist diving in the world renowned Anilao Manrine Sanctuaries and for those whose climbing Mt. Gulugod Baboy. The island can be reach through a medium size boat or banka which can be hired through a middle man who will approach your group. The crystal-clear water around the island can be reached through a 15- to 20-minute boat ride from Anilao port. Sombrero Island is perfect for snorkeling.

I must say that we must try to visit Sombrero Island, I know that we will be amaze by the beauty of the island. Let’s go to Batangas!
