Tingloy is a unique municipality in Batangas Province, occupying Maricaban Island along with Caban Island and several smaller islets just south of the Calumpang Peninsula. Covering about 33.07 square kilometers, it’s home to around 15,800 people. The island is reachable via a combination of land and sea travel: a bus from Metro Manila to Batangas Grand Terminal, a jeepney ride to Anilao or Talaga Port, and a 30–45 minute boat ride to the island. From the port, tricycles take visitors to Masasa Beach, or private boats can be chartered for direct access to other coves and islands. Travelers are advised to check weather conditions, carry cash, and bring essentials like sunscreen, snorkeling gear, and water.
