Located in Barangay Balaytigui in Nasugbu, Tali Beach Subdivision is one of the private seaside communities skirting the coastine of this popular resort town in Batangas. It is home to seven beaches, and Secret Beach is one of them. This long stretch of sandy shore is tucked in the northwestern end of the subdivision, next to Sunset Beach, making it also a good spot to watch the sunset.
Although it is located inside an exclusive residential area, visitors are still welcome as long as they secure accommodations offered by homeowners or registered members. Guests are expected to observe and comply with the rules and regulations set by the management.
