Anawangin, San Antonio Zambales
October 30-November 1, 2010

Anawangin is the nearest cove from Pundaquit, San Antonio, Zambales. Surrounded by mountains of rocks that are believed to have been formed by volcanic eruptions ages ago.

Surprisingly, pine trees are growing in the nearby banks of the cove and even in the foot of the Pundaquit Mountain. It was believed that the seeds were brought by the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo together with the ash fall.

How to Get There:
Your first destination should be Pudaquit. Ride a bus bound to Iba or Sta. Cruz Zambales. You can catch scheduled trips of Victory Liner in Pasay Terminal for only 265.00.

It is only 3 to 4 hours travel time to San Antonio via NLEX. Ride a tricycle to Brgy.  San Miguel or Pundaquit, fare rate may rang to 30 to 40 pesos. It will be very comportable if you have contacted a tour guide to provide assistance.

From Pundaquit, there are bancas to be rented for around 1500.00. In our case because we have a tour guide, it was around 200 pesos only per head.

It is a 40-45 minutes ride to Anawangin.

You can also trek for 4 to 6 hours in Mt. Pundaquit.

Where to Stay:
There are no modern establishments or facilities in Anawangin. It is very important that you are well prepared to bring things for camping especially tents, foods and water. There is a small store but only sells coffee and acessories.

If you are not into camping, ask the boatman to fetch you up on your planned time and spend the night in Pundaquit where numerous hotels and restaurants can be found.

Capones Island

Could be reached for 15 to 20 minutes boat ride, Capones Island is another must-see destination in Pundaquit Zambales.

It is so amazing how sculptures in the big rocks were created.

For beach lovers, this is not the usual white sand with fine mixture. In Capones, it is a mixture of sand and crashed rock pacticles from the waves of the open ocean.


Be sure to wear your life vest. Ocean waves are quitely strong on the nearby shore that makes it dangerous for boats. Worry no more because Pundaquit boatmen are experts when it comes to playing with the waves.
