Anawangin Cove and the Capones Island Lighthouse
Pine Trees, white sands and rich mountainscapes in Anawangin
May is already here and we only have a month left to enjoy the summer. Let’s go local this time as I want to share another destination perfect for sun worshipers raring for a natural tan. I have been hearing about this place quite a lot lately especially from the mountaineering community. And when a fellow mountaineer from MFPI Ruby, suggested to go to this place I immediately cleared the date a month ahead. Just a few weeks before the actual date, I was already excited since I haven’t been to a beach for quite a while. And last weekend, we finally got to explore the Cove of Anawangin in Zambales. Was it worth the hype?
Lagoon and the Sea
I heard my phone ringing Saturday morning, and thought it was my phone alarm. I looked around and saw it was bright already. Oh $#!%! I’m late! I quickly answered the phone. “Nasan ka na? (Where are you?)”, it was my friend Eds on the other line. We were supposed to meet in Makati at 5:30 am with the rest of the group where our Van was waiting and it was already 45 minutes pass 5am. I told him I’m still at the house and apologized for the slip up. I thought I activated my phone alarm, I guess I didn’t. They said they’ll wait for me in Shaw Crossing instead. I tried to juggle my brains hard to wake it up and thought I couldn’t make it there in a short time. And my damn phone’s network is busted. It was Smart’s 3G acting causing my network connection to fail. I decided to switch to GSM only and called them up again and told them to go ahead and I’ll just follow by taking the Bus. I thought that they’ll be able to do more things in San Antonio, like buy supplies and eat lunch while they wait for me to arrive. Sheesh, as one of the organizers, being late like that is shameful. My Bad!
The beach has nice powdery off-white sands
With that out of the way, I quickly prepared myself and my stuff and headed to Victory Liner in Caloocan where there are buses going to Iba, Zambales, leaving every hour. I paid Php 207 for my one-way fare going to San Antonio and had a quick snack while waiting for my 9:30 am bus. The bus did leave on time so I was expecting to arrive in San Antonio around past noon before 1pm, or so I thought. There was a major traffic in NLEX due to roadwork, then at Lubao Pampanga, there was a fiesta and street dancing where a ridiculous re-routing made more delays since they routed vehicles on a single lane dusty road. So imagine huge buses and cars navigating through this. Fortunately we managed to squeeze out of it fast. So I arrived in San Antonio around 3:30pm, 6 hours later and took a tryke there going to Pundakit beach which cost around Php 40. When I arrived in Pundakit Tricycle station, Ruby, Eds and our Driver Deng were already waiting for me. The other group, Benjie and the rest of the guys from Accenture already went ahead. Fortunately I’m quite familiar with the place since it was the same jump-off point going to Capones Island, which I have been to before, so I manged to go around a lot quicker.
The beach seabed has a gentle slope ideal for kids to swim in
We headed off to the beach where our boat was waiting. A boat here going to Anawangin cost around Php 800 going to and fro. A boat can carry 3-4 pax. So off we go on a 30 minute boat ride to Anawangin. The waves were already a bit strong but our boatman seem to navigate through it very well. He knows how to stop and slow down the engines and when to throttle forward. We also passed by the islands Capones and Camara on our right. Then from a cliff, we made a left turn, when I noticed the water suddenly calmed down. We were already at the cove mouth and was headed towards the shore. Wow was all I could say as the afternoon light made the cove landscape look really amazing. And what I immediately noticed aside from it’s white sand beach are the pine trees! How about that! It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a beach with pine trees along the shore.
Wide camping areas among the pine trees
I noticed there were a lot of other campers in the area. But despite having several people aside from us, the whole cove is big enough to accommodate all of us without feeling crowded. The place is undeveloped so you have to bring your own camping gears here. There is one small Aeta family here living on a kubo who seems to be watching over the place. The only facility you could find here is a basic restroom and a poso (Water pump). We looked for our other companions and set up our tents under the pine trees which still amazes me at that time. I mean, I thought these trees only grow in cool climates so it’s a bit of surprise to find them here. And what more, they are growing on sands near the shore. I wonder what kind of Pine trees are they to grow in an environment like this.
Dusk by the tree
When I made our itinerary here, everything is all about relaxation and exploration. Everyone is free to do what they want when they get here, so after setting up our tents, Benjie’s group decided to trek up the nearby hills where they said you can have a nice overlooking view of the cove, but be wary of wild tamaraws in the area. I thought that wild tamaraws are native in Mindoro, but it seems they can also be found here as well. Since I didn’t want to do some climbing at that time, I thought I explore the beach before sundown.
Surreal landscape at moonlight
The long beach stretch of Anawangin surprisingly has very fine sands. It’s not as white and powdery as Boracay but comparing it to other beaches like in Batangas or Bataan, the sand quality here is very good. Aside from the pine trees and white sands, there’s also a scenic lagoon nearby which you could explore. Anawangin Cove is not a place though to view the sunrise or sunset as they are obstructed by the surrounding mountainscapes on both sides. Still you can enjoy the changing colors over the horizon.
Moonlight over Anawangin stretch of beach
By night time, before, during and after dinner it was an exchange of stories while chilling out. It wasn’t a full moon but the illumination that night was perfect. Some other camps were jamming with their guitars and I saw some just lying around looking at the starry sky. My friend and I decided to hang out by the beach and listen to some tunes, then I experimented on taking photos of the landscape by the moonlight. I had amusing results using long exposures. And while taking photos I was approached by some guys who seem to be interested in my photography. The group also came from Manila and have been going back here more often to explore the place. Since we’re at a relaxed pace, we joined the others by the seashore and went on a night dip at the ocean waters. The water was crystal clear and calm and the sand at the sea bed was soft. It was amazing. I think for some reason, the cove somehow moderated the waves in this beach. With the moon illuminating brightly, you could see strands of light under the sea as you walk. It was just so relaxing there and just talking about anything under the moon. I think I went out of the water past midnight since hunger struck.
Light of Dawn
Even with our tents, my friend and I decided to sleep outside with our feet just inside our tents. The cool wind was blowing that night and a slight howl from the passing winds within the pine tree forest could be heard. The sight of the leaves and the trees when looking up lying from my earth pad was a soothing lullaby to my senses as I fall asleep. It was already 5:30 am when I woke up and everything was already blue-bright. I looked at the sea and saw an unusual beam of pink light spreading out of the horizon. I was wondering how this pink light came to be as the sun isn’t up yet and it would rise on the opposite side. Interesting light show nonetheless. Must be one of the wonders of nature, like a rainbow.
Visiting the Capones Lighthouse
After breakfast we packed up our things and prepared ourselves for another boat ride side trip to Capones Island where we’ll visit the Faro de Punta Capones, commonly known as the Capones Island Lighthouse. I was looking forward to visiting this island again since last time we had trouble finding the lighthouse. It was a really splashy 15-20 minutes ride to the island. At first, the boatmen led us to the middle of the island. They said we had to hike more than an hour to get to the lighthouse. We couldn’t afford that time so we asked if there is a shorter way. They said there was a rocky shoreline at the back where there’s a stair going to the lighthouse but we would get wet to our waist going down. Like, Duh? Aren’t we already wet from the boat ride? So we headed to the rocky shoreline and went down the boat. The boats stayed by the water since they couldn’t dock. We had a short climb and quickly found our way to the lighthouse.
The castaways posing by the lighthouse
The lighthouse is very similar to the Cape Bojeador in Burgos, Ilocos Norte, which is one of the reason I also wanted to see it. This lighthouse was built in 1886 and was operational by 1890. Despite its old condition, the lighthouse is still operational and are powered and charged by solar panels attached to the lighthouse. It is being maintained by the Philippine Coast Guards.
Striking similarity in design with Cape Bojeador
Having seen the lighthouse finally, you can’t help notice the striking similarity between its brother structure at the north. From the tiles, windows and the whole design. The only difference is that the Capones Lighthouse is smaller in scale. The winding staircase up the lighthouse is very fragile so we went up in groups. When we got up it was steamy hot at the upper portion. It was different from Burgos as we have to open a hatch at the top that leads to the light bulb itself. It was so hot and the air was thin, I immediately looked for another door going out the view deck. I finally found the small door and figured out how to open it. It was a breath of relief once outside as we enjoyed the view of the sea and the island.
The author, all tanned and sweaty at the Capones Lighthouse
Our visit to the lighthouse capped of our adventure here in Zambales. It was another splashy boat ride back to Pundaquit, but fun nonetheless. It was an amazing weekend and was glad that despite the slip ups of the trip at the start we managed to enjoy what Anawangin has to offer. A personal note here. If you plan to visit Anawangin after reading this, please be responsible and take care of your trash. The place is still unspoilt and I heard rumors that there are plans of building a resort here. I love Anawangin and until that time comes, we can enjoy it for free. The place is one of a kind weekender destination and I do plan to come back here someday to explore the mountain ranges. So keep it clean people!

The main picture made me think this was in some faraway foreign land. Zambales? Wow! I would’ve never guessed it.
Incredibly wonderful pictures, Ferdz. I really need not travel to those places anymore — your photographs and prose have brought me there already
May 1st, 2007 at 11:32 pm
I am in awe!
First of all, like eric, I thought the frist pic was abroad… somewhere like Colorado or something. And as I read and saw the pics it looked more and more like the beach from Lost! Especially that amazing starry night shot (Brilliant!)
And that pink light from the horizon was so eerily amazing. I am so gonna ask about Capones from my friends living in Zambales. I have never heard of it before. Thanks for sharing.
May 2nd, 2007 at 1:37 am
my favorite is the “light of dawn”, there is just something very promising about its beauty.
thanks for virtually taking us with you:)
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:58 am

I swear nakakita na ako ng ganyang photo (almost like that) pero hindi sa atin. ang galing Ferdz. pero pinaka-striking na shot para sa akin ay yung “surreal landscape at moonlight”…anong setting ang ginamit mo? you used your E500 here right?
May 2nd, 2007 at 10:29 am
Dude! Me and my two girl friends were there over the weekend. I was surprised by the number of campers around. I was expecting a lot less. But it was wonderful. We prolly crossed paths.

May 2nd, 2007 at 2:07 pm
Awesome pictures!
With so much beauty around us there is no need to go abroad!
May 2nd, 2007 at 2:59 pm
Are those stars in your “surreal” pic? it looks like something out of a science fiction book.
Paano kaya na meron ng mga pine trees sa beach? I wonder……
Good sound advice regarding keeping the place clean. That’s actually good advice for any place, not just Zambales.
May 2nd, 2007 at 3:11 pm
oh my lovely pictures… akala ko some foreign land.. but no its part of Philippines.. how come you get to these parts haaa? how blessed. I wanna visit this place

Everytime I visit your blog, I die of envy! What beautiful places you get to go to….you must have done something good to live this way
I like the nightsky photos they really are surreal but all your photos are just awesome. You’re making me think you can’t take a bad photo in a place in like this.
May 3rd, 2007 at 2:16 pm
Amazing photos. What a great adventure again Ferdz. Ang galing mo naman to choose this place to go to. Kakainggit nga.

May 3rd, 2007 at 9:24 pm
thanks for the visit…..Zambales is truly a beautiful place.I grew up in Olongapo and I can still remember how provincially panting place Zambales was….everything was changed just right after the Pinatubo eruption…still the beauty is there….
Please visit Olongapo..specially Subic(SBMA) you can have your mountain trekking in SBMA….
Nice pix and you really impressed me of your profesionalism in taking pictures…
May 3rd, 2007 at 9:38 pm
love pics number 1, 4, 7 and 9…
yung 4 parang 3d na painting yung mountain at yung clouds…
yung 7 astig yung mga stars, ilang seconds ang exposure nun?
pero the best yung last pic… hehehe.
May 4th, 2007 at 12:24 am
Nakakainis!! We also went to capones last april 21..
After looking at the pics, i can’t help but feel bad as we’re supposed to go to Anawangin after the boatman suggested the place to us but we opted to settle with Capones instead!.. If only I have known how magnificent and serene it is in that place, I should have argued with my friends and demand that we go that way.. *sigh*
Nwei, there’s always a next time..
As always.. splendid pics you have there!
May 4th, 2007 at 9:04 am
Hey… I saw your blog at RPN 9 last night!! Amazing!!!
May 4th, 2007 at 12:52 pm
the first two pictures made me thought the place is outside the country.. wow! anawangin is fabulous.. i hope it stays that way.. undeveloped and uncommercialized.
May 4th, 2007 at 7:04 pm
Wooooooooow! Sa Pilipinas ba talaga ‘yan? Ferdz, your pictures are amazing! You really should publish a coffee table book of the sites of the Philippines. I’d definitely buy it.
May 4th, 2007 at 7:32 pm
two words for this entry, ferdz: post-card and serenity. i mean this as a compliment.
May 5th, 2007 at 3:20 am
ang galing! sa pinas pa la yan kala ko international pag kita ko sa pic. aha.! i got i destination pag uwi ko. heheh… kailangan nag mag ipon.
May 5th, 2007 at 10:20 am
Now tell me you did not photoshop those. Every photo is just absolutely breathtaking and postcard-pretty.
But anyway, hah. Yeah, shameful that one of the organizers was actually late. Happened to me just last week during the booze night out with the bloggers. But heck, the most important thing is that you were able to come, else I wouldn’t even be seeing these wonderful pics.
Zambales is my lola’s hometown. I wonder if she knows this place….
May 5th, 2007 at 10:47 am
mhmm I rarely watch shows from RPN, i just happened to chance upon it while surfing.. and I saw your blog. It was their news *counterpart of TV patrol of ABS*. Janette Toral of digital filipino was interviewed… while different blogs/sites were shown.
their topic was about websites… how to make it successful or something.
May 5th, 2007 at 3:04 pm
i thought it’s a picture of another country. amazing hues, great shots!
May 5th, 2007 at 3:07 pm
Wow galing ng post na ito the pictures and the story blends .
May 6th, 2007 at 10:27 am
These are wonderful pictures! And I love the white sands.
That beam of pink light, simply amazing.
May 6th, 2007 at 5:30 pm
Ang ganda! Nice photos, and nice place!
Sana, huwag na lang silang gumawa ng resort dito para hindi masira ang natural beauty ng lugar.
May 14th, 2007 at 10:22 pm
ang ganda ng tanawin! lalu na yun may mga stars!! para talagang fantasy world!
May 15th, 2007 at 4:31 pm
perfect!!!!
May 25th, 2007 at 4:34 pm
wow, another anawangin post. Can’t believe it. seems that this beautiful piece of heaven is all over the net. not only that, my trekmates sa mountaineering club is inviting me (again and again) this weekend. pero sayang, di lang talaga ako makapunta since i’ll be in cebu.
well, you have a nice site pare. thanx for visiting too and for the nice comment. will definitely add your site to my blogroll…
May 29th, 2007 at 11:22 am
just came from anawangin, the sea’s no longer calm, big waves here and there, at me mga bangkang tumataob dahil sa lakas. but we enjoyed the waves and also the rain (it adds to the adventure). we’ll do anawangin-capones-camara islands next time.
May 29th, 2007 at 11:37 am
great read and really nice pics! you did justice to the beauty of this place!
Just to correct the misconception, those “pine-tree” like trees are actually (beach) AGOHOs. They are coastal trees and not at all related to real, cold-weather pine trees…
I love ZAMBALES! Try heading north, (Botolan, Iba, Sta. Cruz, Potipot Is.) there are a lot more interesting areas to explore there. Happy roadtrips!
June 15th, 2007 at 10:01 pm
astig!
pupuntahan ko din yan
July 16th, 2007 at 11:01 pm
WOW! I am from Zambales but honesty, I haven’t been there at all! We don’t get to go to places far from the highway. We just go to my parents’ house, stay for a few hours and head home before dark. I’m turning green. Green with envy…
Maybe we can take that trip when the kids are a little bigger. Traveling with our 11yo is ok but with a 6yo and a 4yo to an island is not quite safe since the waves can be strong and big. Hay…when kaya.
August 26th, 2007 at 10:11 pm
hi…it was a nice place…i already love beaches and nature. can you help me how to exactly get there? and is there any contact person? thank you so much.
August 26th, 2007 at 10:24 pm
great! parang hindi sa pilipinas!
October 20th, 2007 at 4:43 pm
hi ur pix are so nice amazing as the place. hope i can get there too. . .
October 30th, 2007 at 11:41 am
I think those pine-tree looking trees were Casuarina (Agoho as its local name). They’re not actually pine trees they’re more related to the common flowering plants.
November 16th, 2007 at 6:23 pm
i like it better in anawanginwhich is near by than capones
November 27th, 2007 at 3:00 pm
Awesome photos. You really captured the beauty of the place.
Just want to know, is it safe for foreigners to anawagin and capones Island ?
Thanks,
EJ
January 2nd, 2008 at 3:06 pm

March 28th, 2008 at 10:31 am
Behind the beauty of anawangin
Just a reminder, my ofcmate was unlucky when they visited there on the holy week. He died after he was washed away by some kind of an underwater current just several meters from shore. There are no signs and no warnings from locals that there was same incidents that happened on subsequent holyweek vacationers there. Just be cautious and always think of safety first. Its a beautiful place but we don’t know when ugly times comes.
April 1st, 2008 at 8:15 pm
hi! nice pictures you got here. me and my friends are planning to go to Anawangin Cove and Capones this month. any tips?
April 8th, 2008 at 8:57 am
Ang galing ng mga pics mo kid… I’ll send this site to my son who is starting on his photography hobby. Galing talaga…
April 10th, 2008 at 9:48 am
your descriptive writing makes the place seem so wonderful… be going there this may unfortunately, those coming with me prefers spending the night in an inn over star-gazing and a tent… but I prefer the latter just like what you and your friends did… =)
April 13th, 2008 at 11:36 pm
hi ferdz! may outing kami nila markku, mimi and karl bukas to wednesday sa anawangin. punta rin kami capones! excited na ko!
great shots!
*clap clap*
April 15th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
Nice photos.. but are those really pine tress in Anawangin?
April 16th, 2008 at 1:56 am
I was touched with your notes on how beautiful nature is…Wish i would have the chance to see that place as well…It’s really amazing,i can feel and really appreciate the power of our Creator and how beautiful the world is. God bless friend.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
I was at Anawangin last March 20-22 (holy week). Mesmerized by the unspoilt beauty of the place. I would like to advocate the same: “People, please be mindful of your trash esp. cigarette butts”. I didn’t get to enjoy much of our 2nd day though since i witnessed people reviving somebody who got drowned. Thought was not a good idea to proceed and enjoy. Next time I’ll check the lagoon.
April 17th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
ganda ng mga pics! punta kmi dito sa first weekend ng May..We hope to have a memorable experience as well!
April 17th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
Damn this place is insane…The place to be…so nice…

i’ve been there 2 weeks ago(april 10-11) and it really is unbelievably here in the philippines. A real amazing place with white sand, mountains and pine trees. Yeah it’s a picture perfect place…. Amazing!

Hello! Nice pix there. I just want to ask some questions. Kasi, I’m an amateur photographer. (but i don’t have a dslr yet..). The pictures that you took are mostly landscape, w/c i want to master. But to do that of course ill have to have a good dslr. So, first what dslr are you using?is it canon or nikon?I am just confused right now, i was about to buy canon 400D so that i can start practicing until i used my friend’s nikon D80, he told me that canon is just good with colors but for fix eye (i don’t know what that is..) and focus and plainly everything about a dslr, nikon is a way to go. So again, am just new eh. And with the pictures that you took I would say that you are a pro. I also like traveling one other reason why i am anxious to buy a dslr.
I hope I am not a bother to you. Anyway, I really like your pictures, “fascinatingly wonderful” i should say. ^_^
Thanks!!!

gee…i hope they don’t build a resort in capones or anawangin.
i would rather they keep those 2 beaches that way: untouched.
and i really wish that everyone who goes there would keep those beaches clean! my god, i think we all should know better than to destroy the beauty of mother nature. its really annoying when i see trash all over the beach. hellooooo the waves will not wash off the trash for you! arrrggghhhh
anyway, i really enjoyed reading your trip to capones/anawangin. will be going there soon and i can’t wait!
May 1st, 2008 at 3:11 pm
[...] they wanted to go to Anawangin in San Antonio, Zambales (here’s a really cool link: http://www.ironwulf.net/2007/05/01/anawangin-cove-and-capones-island-lighthouse/). i have heard of that place from another friend and wanted to see it badly. it’s a bit [...]

kahanga-hanga.
sana nga lang ay huwag nang pagnasahan ng mga Panginoong may lupa na pagkakitaan ang pampang ng anawangin.
mas magiging mahusay at makata ang mga mensahe ng tanawin kung hahayaan nating manatiling sariwa at birhen ang anawangin.
at sa mga tulad nating mga manlalakbay, tama lang na tayo ang mangalaga. matutuwa ba tayo kung sa pagbalik natin sa anawangin ay puro plastic, basura at pinagkainan ang aabutan natin?
isang pagpupugay sayo, at sa pampang ng anawangin.

May 30th, 2008 at 9:52 am
yeah they’re probably agoho trees. our town in bicol also has a nice beach, same off-white powdery sand but turns white at around noon when sun’s up and in nearby school just few meters from the beach, same kind of ‘pine-tree looking’ trees abound and we call them agoho. i think these tree varieties really grow near beaches. so there.
June 2nd, 2008 at 2:06 am
thanks for the info! very helpful, as my friends and i are going there during independence day weekend. wish us a safe trip! =)
June 2nd, 2008 at 2:11 pm

Hi there. We are planning to have a 3-day stay in Zambales but have no idea where to stay and what activities to do yet.. until I saw this entry. Can you please advise a resort with affordable rates near Anawangin and Capones Lighthouse? =) Think there are a lot of things we can do here aside from enjoying the beach… Thanks in advance.

August 5th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
Thank you for sharing this place with us. I really thought that the first two pictures were taken abroad…and that there was snow…until I saw the mountain at the back. Really great pictures, too. I do hope that the beach won’t get spoiled eventually by plastic wrappers and other junk. I’d like to visit this place before it gets developed.
August 13th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
I REALLY LOVE THE PICS. THANKS FOR SHARING IT WITH US. YOU’RE GREAT!!!
August 15th, 2008 at 11:12 am

December 5th, 2008 at 1:26 am
Nice shots dude. What camera are you using? Anyway, my friend from gapo told me that one resort was already built in one part of the cove. I wish there’s still a camp site for those who can’t afford to pay for an overnight stay like me. hehehe.. Keep up the good shots dude!
December 8th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
OMG! the pictures were amazing…i couldn’t believe those places exist in the phils… by the way, how do i get to this place?
December 17th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
hi! we plan to go to there before new year. Is it safe to bring a car? would there be any parking or it is best to take the bus?
January 4th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
weow! heard about this place from a friend who’s into photography as well… now i can’t wait to get there myself… great shots, thanks for sharing! Happy New Year!
January 25th, 2009 at 8:20 pm

February 10th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
OMG! When I saw some pictures of Anawangin… I told myself that I’m gonna go there because the place looks so serene and romantic… I probably find my soulmate in that wonderful place…
February 11th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
been there last feb 7-8.. it is truly a beautiful place.. thanks to this blogsite.. we were able to know that there is a beauty hiding in the province of zambales..
… sad to say.. nangiiwan ng tissues and used napkins.. so sad tlga..
thanks po ng mdami.. the only thing na napancin ko is those people na d marunong gumamit ng cr.. its a good thing the locals provide the cr pra namn mejo convenient pero kadlasan d marunong gumamit ung mga campers
niwei.. anawangin, one of the best place i ever been….two thumbs up!!
February 12th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Shame on me! I grew up here in Zambales but haven’t explored this wonderful place of ours. Been heard of the place, yes, yet never knew where it was until I asked my friend and kumare where is this anawangin that she wants to visit. Much to my surprise it’s my very own. The place is inviting and relaxing for a weekend getaway, nice place to unwind. I’ll invite my officemates to visit and be close to one of God’s wonderful creations. Thanks for the post and great shots!
February 14th, 2009 at 2:52 am

March 5th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
galing po ako dun kahapon, March 4.. alone..i do celebrate my birthday there.. sunog po uli yung bundok katabi nung main island ng Pundakit! FYI lang po!!
March 5th, 2009 at 6:58 pm
hi! i have also been in the same lighthouse in 2007 and i will tell u all that the travel from bats. to zambales is really worthwhile…
to the author: have you seen the slippers scattered in the rockside or should i say seashore with rocks (before going up in the lighthouse)?! the quantity really amazes me… its bad though i don’t have any copy of our pictures from that vacation, not even a single one. it’s with my friends and sad to say i don’t know where to find them now… hehehe!
March 9th, 2009 at 11:05 am
sana makapunta kami ng pet ko na snake, name nya carlo… pangarap namin makapunta d2 !!
March 9th, 2009 at 6:56 pm
wow! it’s a nice place, but I’m really concerned about the restroom and bathing issue.
How were you able to do this things? Are there any nearby hotels or inn’s? as in super nearby?
I really want to see the place, but I’m not really used to camping out.
March 10th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
@Grace there is no hotels in anawangin CR is not a problem theres a 3 cr there, if you want you can stay on pundaquit thats 20 to 30 minutes boatride
from anawangin or you can also stay in talisayin but its a bahay kubo not a hotel but if you really want to experience camping this is one of the best place to stay,,,
March 17th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
We went here last weekend, March 14. There were a lot of campers last Saturday. Although, it rained a little bit, we all had great time. Ang ganda talaga ng Pilipinas.
March 17th, 2009 at 8:58 pm

April 21st, 2009 at 4:21 am
Hi Guys,
I have been reading a lot of things about anawangin. Surely it is a paradise. Other people are hesitant to go because of untoward incidents that had happened.
I’m pretty sure that you have heard there types of scenarios. they happen in gallera, anawangin, siargao, etc… I don’t want to blame untoward scenarios to these beautiful places. The beach, the mountains, or even in your own house has its dangers.
Persons drown because of strong underwater currents, undertows, and popular known as riptides. They can occur anywhere waves are breaking on shore.
I know a number of people has lost their lives due to this. They are dangerous but are relatively easy to escape if you stay calm. I think if people only knew what to do, there would be a lot less deaths. Here are some websites I found on how to survive an underwater current hope this helps and please pass to others:

May 10th, 2009 at 7:34 pm
for only 1, 500 (manila-zambales-manila) na-explore nmen ang anawangin and capones! it’s really nice! perfect place to unwind..
May 12th, 2009 at 12:11 am
Surely this place is very beatiful, I want to try this place. But please correct me if Im wrong of my concerns, is this place for adventurers and campers only? I mean there is no hotel, bar/restaurant and no CR I believe. I have no problem sleeping on a tent, but where will you go if you need a comfort room for shower and other things you need to do.
Another thing I love to do during vacation is to watch the sunset/sunrise, while listening to my ipod and hi-end headphone(grado) connected to a headphone amplifier, then with an ice cold beer on my righ hand yaaaa man.
So for short what I need are nice Comfort Room and ICE COLD BEER, if there is somehow I can get that at Capones then surely I can stay there. Is that possible? Please forgive me if my question seems so irrelivant, Im not a true adventurers/campers. I just love nature…
May 18th, 2009 at 5:54 pm
I was there last weekend – one of the best weekend of my life. Plus – waterfalls at Pundaquit! The Lord is indeed great!
May 18th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
very nice pictures….
May 26th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
pnta kmi jan s june ano b mga facilities n meron (cr,water,lhat ng kylangan)?
ask lng po!!
May 27th, 2009 at 11:00 am
Hi!
If we are going to trek instead of riding the boat to reach anawangin cove can we do it without a local guide? There’s a trail, right? We are not really mountaineers but i guess we are confident aka malakas ang loob at makapal ang mukha.
Thanks!
June 18th, 2009 at 4:46 pm
bros and sis, meron bang guston pumunta sa anawangin and capones island ? sama naman ako, solo lang kasi ako e
June 18th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
,,, i agree.. except on that part where you described the trees as ” pinetrees”..its not.. i jz cnt remember the exact name of it..anyway, anawangin really is a place where you’ll find yourself wondrin’ how diffferent it is to be in such a wondrful place…
June 19th, 2009 at 7:25 am

it is my first time to be in anawangin, at first we planned to stay thereover night only. We left Manila in the morning tapuis nakarating kami ng hapon haist…. At first ang plano ko is to stay there over night since may pasok ako monday night…. Pag dating namin ng anawangin and pagkababa ko ng boat tinanong ako ng kasama ko kung kelan kami uuwi, wala akong ibang nasabi kundi monday morning…. nakalimutan ko na na may work kami ng monday night because napakaganda ng veiw relaxing i cant find the right word to describe how beautiful anawangin is…….. Guys visit anawangin hindi kayo magsisisi talagand sulit napakahabang byahe from manila to zambales….. you’ll forget about everything when you get there ……
