What to Expect for Nasugbu
Nasugbu is known for its array of beaches with azure blue waters. Its proximity to the metropolis is one of the reasons it is popular, but Nasugbu’s beaches are already so well-known by themselves that the place makes a compelling case as a summer destination.
Personally, I've been to Nasugbu a few times. In 2019, I brought my family and friends to Pico de Loro (Hamilo Coast) for a chill stay. Early this year, my family went for a 4-day vacation to Calayo Beach.
Here are the beaches you should go to in Nasugbu:
Tali Beach
Tali Beach is basically one whole exclusive seaside subdivision in Nasugbu, so it has less crowd. Enjoy the peace and quiet of the beaches or go cliff jumping. You cannot get in unless you know someone or you are a homeowner.

The good news is that most of the property there are rest houses, so some of the owners rent out their property. You can contact them directly and book in advance before going there.
Book a stay: Find an Airbnb or house for rent.
Layag-Layag Beach

Taytayin Cove |
From Papaya Cove, you can go on an island-hopping adventure to Mother Elephant Cove, Baby Elephant Cove, Taytayin Cove and Santelmo Cove. The latter is a marine sanctuary, where you can go snorkeling and see schools of fish, giant clams with paarls, and colorful corals. Taytayin Cove, on the other hand, is a popular stop for cliff jumping.
Location: Sitio Iba, Brgy. Papaya, Nasugbu, Batangas
Cayraang Cove (Kayraang)
This cove is part of a big real estate company, so boats cannot dock on the beach. You can still enjoy chilling in the shallow water while your boatmen wait for you.

This is normally not part of the island hopping tours offered, but if you want to include this, the boatmen may take you there for an additional fee.
