After about 3-hours of travel from
Manila, we reached the Pundaquit town of Zambales. The sound of smashing waves along the shoreline
is Pundaquit's way of welcoming its guests.
Anawangin Cove can be reached via a 30-minute boat ride from the Pundaquit proper or a traverse hike through its mountains and cliffs.
The crescent shaped Anawangin Cove covered
with pine trees has off-white lahar sand brought by the Mt. Pinatubo eruption in
the 90’s. Behind the trees is a stream flowing to the sea giving visitors another place to enjoy.
The absence of resorts or other developments has
preserved the natural beauty of Anawangin that became a favorite relaxing destination
for anyone who wants to escape the hustles of the city. One can go for a day tour or camp for the
night. Anyone may bring along a camping equipment or have it arranged with the guide. Take caution in observing safety, in preserving nature and in respecting the camper next to
you.
