Macabebe Beach is a secluded spot located at the end of a road, offering a view of the mountainous side of Bataan and Manila Bay on clear days. The beach is not recommended for swimming or picnics due to its muddy waters and lack of maintained facilities. The beach is also not a tourist spot, but it can be a place for solitude and a breather from the city's noise.
The beach is open from morning until 5pm on weekdays and weekends, with free entrance. Visitors can rent a cottage for a day if they wish to stay longer. There is a public restroom available, but visitors are advised to bring their own food as there is only one store in the vicinity. Visitors are also encouraged to take care of their own garbage to help maintain the environment.
The road to Macabebe Beach is well-maintained, making it a popular destination for bikers. However, caution is advised as some parts of the road are eroded and may cave in at any time. Additionally, the road lacks barriers in most areas, which can be anxiety-inducing, especially during high tide or rainy weather.
Despite its natural beauty, Macabebe Beach appears to be neglected and in need of proper management. There is a building near the beach that was intended to be a rentable function room, but it is slowly caving in and not maintained.
Macabebe Beach amenities include toilet.
