In just 3 to 4 hours, the beach is yours. Laiya is San Juan's gem. It is one of the closest beach from Manila where you, your friends and family can enjoy from.
If you are into white beaches like me, this place in Batangas could be your top list. Laiya Beach also boast its shallow waters and long beaches which are perfect for kids and family outing.
I've been to Laiya for 3 times. The first time was in summer of 2012 when I brought my family and relatives to one budget resorts (forgot the name) along Laiya beach. There, we rented a cottage and spend a day tour.
The second time was a company-sponsored outing/team building at Laiya Coco Grove Resort in 2014. It was also summer time and the weather was great. Instead of day tour, our company let us stayed overnight so that we can enjoy beach activities during day time then chill at the pool at night.
The third time I traveled to Laiya was a day tour with my girlfriend's family at Kabayan Beach Resort.
Also in San Juan (not in Laiya) is the rocky side of Imelda. There I got to experience to stay at a Santorini-inspired beach house, Casa Amara. The resort is known for having an infinity pool overlooking Tayabas Bay.
Just passed the zigzag road to the west, you can also reach Lobo, Batangas from San Juan. There, you might want to experience the pebble beach of Lobo and the infinity pool from Punta Verde Resort.

ABOUT LAIYA BEACH
Laiya Beach is a long-stretch of beach shoreline located in Laiya-Aplaya, San Juan, Batangas. Due to the beach's white sands, clear waters, and proximity to the country's capital, Manila, it has become one of the most famous and most visited beaches in the country, particularly for those from the National Capital Region. A place good for fishing, a nearby reef & small waves for surfing.

| Kabayan Beach Resort |
Laiya has white sand beaches and clear waters, and as such is frequently compared to Boracay, which is the country's top beach choice for local tourists, celebrities, and foreign tourists alike.
Weathering-formed crushed shells and corals make up both beaches' white sands, with Boracay's being noticeably finer and whiter. Laiya is one of the beaches that have gained popularity recently; thus, there are not as many luxury resorts and activities in the area as compared to other beaches in the country.

HOW TO GET TO LAIYA, SAN JUAN, BATANGAS
All of my four-time visit to Laiya we brought our own vehicle for transport. But here's a commuting guide if you plan to hop on-and-off PUVs:
Via San Juan
The fastest way to Laiya is via San Juan. Take ALPS Bus from either EDSA Nepa Q-Mart, Araneta Center Cubao, or Alabang Grand Terminal to San Juan, Batangas. The earliest trip leaves at 3:00AM and the last trip departs at 5:00PM. ALPS Bus has 12 total departures per day. The fare is ₱190.
In San Juan, right in front of the Municipal Hall, board a Laiya- or Hugom-bound jeepney. Take note that the last departing jeepney to Laiya leaves at 5:00PM. There are also tricycles that are willing to take you to Laiya but you just need to shell out more.
Via Lipa
From Pasay Buendia, EDSA Kamuning, or Araneta Center Cubao, take Ceres Tours, DLTB, JAM, Batangas Star Express, RRCG, etc to Lipa City, Batangas. Travel Time is about two hours and the fare ranges from ₱135 to ₱150.
From Lipa bus terminal, take a jeepney or van to San Juan, Batangas. The van is faster but will cost you much higher.
And then from San Juan, take a jeepney or tricycle to Laiya.
