Tanza
Spend a half‑day in Tanza to see the historic church and beach, then return to Manila – about 2–3 h total travel.
Tanza is a coastal town on Manila Bay with a Spanish‑era church, a few beach resorts and a modest fishing fleet. It is reachable from Manila in 1–1.5 h by bus or jeepney, so a half‑day visit fits most itineraries.
