Understand
Nasugbu lies along the western coast of Batangas, facing South China Sea (or West Philippine Sea, in response to the Spratly Islands territorial dispute). The town is a commercial center of western Batangas, with 134,113 people as of 2015, but is not as important as Balayan to the southeast, which is the traditional trading center.
The town lacks historical proof about its founding; the only proof about its early history is dated from 1852, by Jesuits. During the Pacific War, Nasugbu served as an entry point for the American liberators during the end of the war in 1945, and their arrival is commemorated since then.
Nasugbu grew its reputation for its beaches during the Marcos administrations between 1965 and 1986. Part of the municipality forms the Nasugbu Special Tourism Zone; luxurious beach resorts continue to grow in the area.
Nasugbu has a dry and wet climate, and temperatures in the municipality is suitable for sugarcane production. Temperatures in town can rise above in the summer (between March and May), so be prepared.
