Hugom is one of the coastline barangay of San Juan, Batangas which faces the West Philippine Sea. Unlike the nearby San Juan and Laiya Beach which has a fair share of fine grain composed of either cream, white or grayish sand. Hugom Beach doesn’t have the usual fine grain sand that most beach bums are looking for. In fact, sand is nowhere to be found but instead, it is composed of small to medium-sized cobbles which are spread across the beachfront.
We were originally planning to visit Laiya Beach but according to the locals, it was still almost haft an hour travel. Some of our colleagues were already tired and itching to swim in any nearby beach, so we've all settled for Hugom Beach which is just a few steps from Mt. Daguldol's registration area.
It was my first time to see a pebbled beach and some say it resembles that Malabrigo which also has the same features composed of pebbles and cobblestone. It may not have a fine grain sand, yet it offers a truly unique experience. The water is crystal clear with gentle waves making it ideal for swimming and pure beach bumming.
I can say that Team Una's first event: Summit to Experience was a huge success where we hiked Mt Daguldol, bathe in Naambon Falls and of course enjoyed the pebbled stones of Hugom Beach making it the total package.

***Naambon Falls is actually part of Team Una's Summit to Sea event which also includes Mt. Daguldol hike and swimming in Hugom Beach.
How to Get There:
I.). In Cubao/LRT Taft there are buses (ALPS) that has direct route to San Juan (Batangas).
Once in San Juan town proper, ride a jeepney bound for Laiya.
II.) Another option is to ride a bus bound to Lucena, then alight in Candelaria town proper.
Ride a jeepney bound to San Juan, and once in San Juan ride another jeep bound to Laiya.
