The town of Lobo is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the province of Batangas because of its beautiful beaches. The coastlines enveloping the five barangays of Fabrica, Masaguitsit, Olo-Olo, Malabrigo, Soloc and Sawang could be a refuge for travelers wanting to temporarily escape the bustles of everyday life, not to mention the suffocating heat and pollution, in the city.
After the backbreaking reunion climb to Mount Banoi on the afternoon of 18 December 2011, the crew headed for a side trip to collect ourselves. Among the multitude of beach resorts we had seen along the coastline of Barangay Fabrica, we chose Lobo Beach Club & Spa for it’s affordability, neatness, and simplicity. On the flip side, we were just not that lucky to experience what’s in store for the “spa thing” because of one reason: it was not peak/summer season yet when we got there. I explored what’s in this resort instead. I quivered with joy when I saw a mangrove swamp at the back of the suite. My wandering feet’s lust for wonders of nature never fails to help me discover amazing things in a particular place.
I had always been vocal on how I love to look at the the mighty sun especially when it sets so this post wouldn’t be complete without my most favorite photo (from the place).
Seeing the limitless horizon as darkness approaches is just tremendously soothing to my soul — MAGIC at its best!
For those who might wonder if there are other activities offered in the resort, don’t fret because Lobo Beach Club & Spa has playing grounds for beach volleyball, badminton, table tennis, and frisbee. But the catch is, it’s for free if you avail the exclusive accommodation.

The limitless horizon is just breathtaking and it’s great that you can enjoy freely since there a few people.
I agree. I also have a thing with crowded places. I mean, it’s way nicer and peaceful if there are only a few, if not none at all, people around because it’s there that we can savor the moment without distractions. Great insight, friend!
Beautiful photos, Sony. Last one is breathtaking! Very cool
I’m glad you liked my “picked pic” too.
Beautiful.
Thanks, Northern Narratives!
Those are some really gorgeous shots, Sony! I hope to one day visit the Philippines.
We will be more than happy to have you people from the west. I am looking forward to that, fingers crossed!
Thanks for the kind words, Bonnie!
What a terrific series of photos. I love the mangrove swamp. What a wonderful place to wander.
So is that mountain where I saw you doing the mountaineer thing.
Thank you very much, Maggie!
malapit lang ba ito sa Malabrigo?? hmm
OO, Ivan, malapit siya dun base sa na-research ko. Tanong tanong nalang din sa mga taga-doon to confirm.
nag overnight ba kayo dito or umuwi din kayo? dba hanggang 5pm lang yung jeep papuntang Batangas City?
Nangontrata kami, Ivan. Kaya, kahit medyo late na nakabalim parin ng Manila.

Bro, I hope you get see this comment asap because I’ve been trying to reach you and wordswithpurpose since last week. I’d like you let you know that I am having technical difficulties regarding sending comments to both of your blogs. I kept on submitting comments since last week, like I said, but I had not seen any of those that I’ve submitted appearing on your respective posts. I suggest that you check your spam. That’s the best remedy I could think of for now. If ever my hunch is correct, please inform me. This is the first time this kind of problem happened to me, so please respond for it will help me address the problem. I was thinking of reporting the matter now to WordPress …
