Hugom & Laiya Beaches

Hugom Beach Sunset

Hugom & Laiya beaches located in San Juan, Batangas are vacation havens for people who love outdoor adventures and beautiful sunsets & sunrises in the Philippines. Both have long shorelines of white sand, azure waters, warm waters and cool breezes. These are ideal getaway destinations for people seeking quiet and relaxing place to hang out with where one can hear the splashing sound of the waves, chirping of the birds and the like. Various water activities such as swimming, kayaking, boating and jet skiing are available around. Meanwhile, the boundary area of Hugom and Laiya is perfect for snorkeling. The waters are clear. You can even watch some fish sanctuaries, coral reefs and other marine life at shallow waters just a few meters away from the shore.

If you like mountaineering, you can trek to Mt. Daguldol mountain trail as well as to the hidden coves and falls like Naambon Falls & Mainit na Pulang Bato.
