Legend has it that settlers from northern Mindoro and southern Cavite were drawn to the vast plain near the shores of Balayan Bay at the end of the 18th century. The area’s rich marine life, particularly the abundance of fish, enticed them. Salting and drying fish soon became their main occupation, meeting the high demand from people in Cavite, Mindoro, Laguna, and Batangas. As more people flocked to join the settlers, the village thrived and became densely populated.
Stretching along the entirety of Balayan Bay, one can discover a variety of tourist attractions, picturesque beaches, and well-maintained parks. Its proximity to Manila has transformed it into a hotspot for travelers, with numerous resorts and accommodations lining its shores. Adding depth to the scene are the quaint fishing villages scattered across the bay. These villages not only enhance the visual richness of the area but also showcase a mosaic of traditions. Balayan Bay stands out as a destination seamlessly blending modern tourist charm with the timeless appeal of traditional fishing communities, catering to diverse interests. It offers a perfect retreat for beach enthusiasts and a captivating experience for those intrigued by local cultures.
