The northwest shore of the Calumpang Peninsula, from Anilao to Bagalangit, is lined with local resorts that cater primarily to local tourists. Although the beach at Anilao is not recommended for swimming, thatched bamboo rafts, rustic cabins and picnic cabanas are available for rental at local resorts. From these resorts, you can also rent a boat for island hopping and visit the diving spots, coves, and islands like the Sombrero and Maricaban islands.
With its niche popularity among divers, Anilao is no longer as difficult for visitors to get to as in the past. It is accessible by sea or land. From Manila, one can typically get to Anilao by taking a bus bound for Batangas City (Buendia terminal) and asking the conductor for drop off at the Mabini/Bauan jeepney terminal. By request, a Mabini jeepney driver will then take passengers to the Mabini dock area.
From the Mabini docks, visitors can hire a driver to any one of the resorts.
The beauty that this place is known for lies not above the water, but underwater. When you visit this place for the first time and plan to go swimming, at least bring a dive mask or rent one. You would be glad you did.
It would also be important to note that this place called Anilao, which has been known to be a world class dive destination, is actually just a barangay of Mabini town of Batangas. The dives sites and resorts are actually scattered all over the several barangays of Mabini (Solo, Bagalangit, San Tedoro, etc) and across to the island of Maricaban. Anilao is the name that caught up in the divng community
because, years ago, Anilao was the only jump-off point to the dive sites.
