Snorkeling in Canyon Cove

This is quite a late post for my blog since we travelled to Nasugbo first week of January this year.  But since I want to document all my travels in my blog, I tried to recall all my previous travels so expect to read plenty of late entries on this blog soon.

Since last year, we were traveling around Batangas to explore its beaches but only now that we thought of going to Nasugbo.  I've read some blogs about day tour to Canyon Cove so I, together with my niece, Lani, my granddaughter, Ayah and Lani's niece, Mimi went to Nasugbo for a day tour.  We left early so as not to be caught in a traffic jam in Manila and so as the sun started to rise, we were already in Batangas.  We were glad we used the Cavitex and Ternate-Nasugbo route because the sceneries along the way were beautiful.  It's a less taken path I guess because we chanced upon only few vehicles along the way.  Though you have to traverse mostly on zigzagged road, it's relatively a stress-free roadtrip because the road is in tip-top condition.  

As we were nearing Canyon Cove, we passed by a scenic side of the road overlooking an ocean so we decided to have a stop over to eat our packed breakfast ( ang walang kamatayang rice and adobo at arroz valenciana :-) ).  There was a makeshift bamboo table and bench on that side of the road used maybe by vendors during day time but since it was too early, they haven't arrived yet.  There, we unpacked our food and enjoyed our breakfast with an amazing view below.

After having our breakfast, we continued our trip and arrived at Canyon Cove as early as 8am. The place was nice with a large, scenic pool.  We didn't tried the pool though because we were enjoying the beach.  The cove has a scenic view and the beach has white sand.  It was a sunny day and the water was clear and calm.  I tried snorkeling and I was not disappointed.  Just near the shoreline, there were corals and colorful fishes.  I spent the whole morning snorkeling from end to end of the cove.  For those who want to snorkel too, the more beautiful corals and colorful fishes can be found on the rightmost side of the cove if you are facing the beach.
