“There is nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shore line, No matter how many times it is sent away”

1am (Saturday May 6) Meet up at Cubao station but Due to Number of people waiting- we decided to take a different route since we have to be at Zambales early to have more time for the activities. We took Pampanga and transfer to a different Bus to Olongapo.

3:45am (Saturday May 6) we reached Olongapo, wait for a bus to Iba, Zambales. We are able to reach Zambales around 5:30am and we still have time to go the market and get things we need.

So this is it after a 20mins tricycle ride to Pundaquit

Excuse our morning face. hehe! 🙂

First stop: ANAWANGIN COVE.

Anawangin is the nearest Cove from the town proper of Pundaquit – Owned by a local family who also lives in Pundaquit, Based on the post and photos, Anawangin is the most visited cove since its more developed than the others. Anawangin is surrounded by mountains of rocks theoretically known to be formed by ages of volcanic activities in the past. Owners are asking for 50php entrance fee for day trip and 150 for overnight.

Boat Ride is 20-30mins from Pundaquit depending on the water condition.

Second stop: TALISAYEN COVE.

This Cove nestled between Anawangin and Nagsasa Cove. Unlike Anawangin, Talisayen is normally just visited by people who go on a day tour a side trip. They also do not offer accommodations, there are huts for rent but its best to bring your own tent for camping experience. Same as the other cove’s , its 50php for entrance fee of day trip and 100 for overnight.

ast stop: NAGSASA COVE.

So, we decided to stay at Nagsasa Cove. From anawangin it takes 45mins to reach Nagsasa. We love the beach here- Beautiful ash-gray that turns almost white during noon. There is no signal here so its more interesting specially for those who are looking for a “break”. =D

There’s nothing much to do here in Nagsasa aside from walking along the beautiful long stretch shore, dive into the clear water or trek around or up hill.
