Most of the resorts are around two bays north of town. The road to them winds through hills, and there is some risk of landslides or falling rock, so travelling there during heavy rain is inadvisable. The smaller town of Lian, just to the south of Lesugbu, also has some resorts. Nasugbu is the departure point for ferries to Lubang, a group of islands that are off the beaten tourist track but have some fine beaches.
