Anawangin Cove of Zambales: Pine Trees by the shore

Way back April of 2010 before Anawangin Cove became a popular tourist spot in Zambales my college friends and I experienced the grand pristine white sands of the said spot.

Anawangin Cove is situated at Pundaquit, San Antonio Zambales. There are two way to get there, the easy and difficult route. No sweat and hassle free, rent a boat back and forth in just 30 minutes you’ll reach the wonderful shoreline of Anawangin. But if you wanted an extreme adventure, trekking the treacherous Mt. Pundaquit is perfect for you and your troop. The rocky slope of the Mountain adds an exotic appeal and difficult path to hikers, 4 to 5 long hours of trekking before reaching the other side of the mountain which is Anawangin Cove, all the sweat is worth it once you’ve set foot in the shoreline of the cove.
