From Anilao, the most spectacular sites for diving in the Philippines are within reach. These include Batalan, Caban Cove, Ligpo Island, Merriel's Rock, Sombrero Island and Verde Island. White sand beaches could be found in all around the place such as Calijon Falls, Gerthel Hugon, and Matabungkay Beach. Nasugbu Batangas is also one of the more popular resort areas. Aside from beaches, there are also attractions inland. In Sto. Tomas is the General Malvar Museum and Library. General Malvar is the last Filipino General to surrender to the Americans. In Tanauan is the Mabini Shrine where the national hero Apolinario Mabini was buried. He was known as the "Brains of the Katipunan”.

Attractions in the village include Leon Apacible Historical Landmark, Marcela Marino Agoncillo Museum and Monument, the Basilica of San Martin de Tours and the Church of Our Lady of Caysasay, which houses priceless relics of the colonial period.
