Unwind to Annawagin Cove ~ San Antonio, Zambales

After 12 hours of hiking from Subic, Zambales traverse to Anawagin Cove we set our camp meters beside the shore line, the team arrived at the cove minutes before midnight.

On the following day I saw fully the beauty of the Cove. Our guide said that the white fine sand was a mixture of volcanic ashes from the last eruption of Mt. Pinatubo and the pine trees lined around grows unknowingly years after the eruption. So some of the tribe in Zambales create a living for a reason to make the area a spot for campings and beach outings.

A crescent-shape figure and the cove are lined with pine trees that give it a different impression compared to the other tropical beach in the country which is commonly lined with coconut and talisay trees. One may also try trekking up hill until into this spot to snap a picture profile of the cove.

Anawangin Cove, is a popular destination for beach outing, camp and hiking to the minor scale slopes of Zambales ranges ( Mt.Pundaguit). A perfect location if you want gets close to the Mother Nature, a quiet place to unwind and relax. The Cove is located in San Antonio, Zambales, Philippines. One can take public buses from Manila to Iba, Zambales which will consume approximately 5 hours

However the cove is complimented by the surrounding mountain giving it a perfect view especially when the sun sets down the combination of colors reflects to the mountain slopes.
