Montemar Beach Club
In: Bataan
20 Apr 2009
It was always difficult to think of a place to spend a weekend nearby Manila. Traveling by land, there’s only a handful of places to visit without driving more than 3 hours, and since there’s only a handful, most of us already been there. This weekend, we spent an overnight trip to Montemar Beach Club in Bagac, Bataan. It’s 200KM away from Manila, and exactly 3 hours away by car.
Montemar Beach Resort is a 12 hectare, private resort and by private I mean very private, they own the whole cove, end-to-end. The beach is lined with fine medium to dark gray sand. You can comfortably walk by the beach, and head to the sea, it’s not good for swimming though unless you’re really good at it. Read the rest of this entry »
