Manuel Uy Beach 👌😊

Manuel Uy is a public beach from Calatagan Batangas, where can go camping together with other tourists , the beach has yellow sand and a wide range of shore where you can walk around at night.

If you will be bringing a car (vehicle) , you can park on your preferred location and set up a tent right away :) ( take note there's no resort or rooms inside the beach, best suitable for backpackers ) .

Its not allowed to have a bonfire at the beach since the locals want to have the beach clean for tourist , as you can see in the picture below there's a sack hanging for tourist to throw their garbage.

Swimming will definitely be a part of our adventure, with regards on the water depth its around 1 ft. to 4 ft. in the morning and in the afternoon it goes to 5 ft. to 6 f.t , it will be 100% safe to kids and there's a life guard until 5:00 pm in the afternoon.

I haven't taken a picture at night since I left early, but the receptionist mentioned that there will be lights at night so you don't have to worry bringing lamps ( but it will be much better if you have )

Also with cooking, they do have a place at the back of the beach where you can cook and grill ( its a good thing that the local is upgrading the beach ) , you only have to bring charcoal ( uling ) , and your food. You can buy food along the road or at the wet market before entering the beach proper.
