There are many spots in Batangas for swimming but only a few are wild, untouched, and unspoiled waters. With some luck tossed in, I find just that– a serene place I can call mine even just for a weekend.
Raming’s is a secret beach in Batangas. There’s no signage or any welcome marks, you’d just have to ask for Mang Raming to confirm if you have indeed arrived at his turf — and that’s the beginning of your private getaway.
Rocks clunking softly in every step you make, towering coconut trees ready to be climbed at for some fresh buko juice, and the sound of waves gently clashing into the shore —Raming’s feels like a place where you could stay at for as long as you can, without worrying if it would cause a hole in your pocket because really, it won’t.
There’s no scene here, only you, the hammocks perched up on trees, some boats on dock, and the warm locals.
The beach is undeveloped,Β water is clear, shallow, okay for snorkeling. The surrounding towns are hidden behind bushes, perhaps even untouched by time.
Food is not available on site so it has to be bought before riding a boat in Talaga pier, Mabini, right before you cross the island. At night, you could sleep in a nipa hut with electric fan or at your very own tent.
Sunset is best watched in the nearbyΒ Masasa beach, but if sunrise is your thing, then this is the place to be.
How to Get There
From Manila, you can ride a bus going to Batangas City Grand Terminal. From there, ride a jeepney going to Anilao then alight at Talaga port. Ride a public boat going to Tingloy, then a tricycle going to Raming’s.

Exactly what I love, places that are secret or off beat. I have been here though. I love to be in that hammock and watch the sunset . Keep traveling and more power to you. Perhaps someday, we can go on an adventure together π
Hi Karla! Good to know someone who have been there. It’s more “secret” than its counterpart –Masasa.
And yes, maybe someday! π
That’s really cheap for a hidden beach getaway, my only problem would be the food! As you said you have to bring in food, and I don’t know how to cook!
I suggest a picnic style getaway. hehe! bring your own baon! π
I love hat nipa hut with new design since technology is in the area. The soil and stones is cool! I love to collect some of them.
Yes, the stones are lovely, it’s abundant there. π

Hi Shayne, how was the comfort room?
Hi Ana! There’s a detached public restroom just outside the kubo but I wasn’t able to use this because Mang Raming offered me to use their bathroom instead. π
