# San Juan (Batangas)

San Juan is a municipality of Batangas. It is home to the other beaches in the province besides those in the west coast and Mabini;

## Understand

San Juan is composed of a Spanish-era town center (poblacion) with streets laid out in a grid, and a larger area mostly agricultural in background. The town is at the center of the main route between Batangas and Quezon provinces. A major tourist draw is the white-sand beaches of Laiya, to the south of town; today, tourism is a major local source of revenue, after aquaculture and agriculture.

## Get in

San Juan is served by some bus companies:
* ALPS the Bus has trips from their Manila terminals to the downtown.
* Supreme has service from Batangas City to Lucena through these town, using a mix of air-conditioned and ordinary buses.
* P&O runs Batangas City-Tagkawayan using an air-conditioned fleet. No advanced booking is needed for short to medium distances, e.g. from Batangas City or Lucena, but a pre-booked ticket is necessary if coming from their Tagkawayan terminal.
A trip from Batangas City by bus costs at around ₱84 to downtown (₱74 from Lucena terminal).
Jeepneys are a cheaper option, but are uncomfortable and infrequent outside daylight hours. Nonetheless, they are the only public transport option from Lipa. From Batangas City, a jeepney trip will entail a transfer at downtown Rosario, 22 km (14 mi) west, which can be only a waste of time and money, and jeepneys from there are infrequent. Better catch a bus from the Grand Terminal.
By car, The Rosario-San Juan-Candelaria Road and the Quezon Eco-tourism Road are the main highways to town. The Rosario-San Juan leg of the former and the whole segment of the latter forms Route 422; they provide the best road connection from Lucena, but the coastal portion can look a bit isolated, as it passes through coastal villages through the municipalities of Sariaya and Candelaria.

## Get around

The town center at the barangay of Poblacion is compact, and walkable. Tricycles are abundant.
There is a highway between Poblacion and Laiya. There are many improvements along the road, including widened bridges and added lanes. Car travel is advisable but not necessary.

## Get in

The best way to get here is by bus from Manila. Take one of the many bus lines bound to La Union. Tell the bus driver to drop you at San Juan - Sebay (Urbiztondo) or San Juan - Montemar. Both are well known stops among the bus drivers. San Juan Center has nothing to offer related to surfing.
