Anawangin is famous for its pine trees.
PARADISE without electricity. Of course, a paradise doesn't have electricity. Anawangin Cove is known for being a remote island for campers, your dream of being a survivor contestant would be real once you step on the shore since your mobile phone's signal would die from physical life. The sand is a mixture of white, black, and, gray and when it's sunny, a part of the shore sparkles. The waves are tolerable and at noon, the sea is on low tide so you can play with the water; very salty though. On the latter part of the island there lies a mini lake that is nearing the mountain where water is so crystal clear and Gagao fish can be seen, googled it and the counter part is Ayungin.
How to get there:
Take a bus at Victory Liner terminal in Cubao and book a trip to Olongapo ( P 212.00 pesos) and alight in Olongapo Victory Liner terminal. Once you get there, ride another bus trip going to San Antonio Zambales (P 42.00) and alight in San Antonio Municipal Hall. You'll take a tricycle ride going to Pundakit (P 30.00) and there you'll have to ride a boat going to Anawangin Cove (P 1000.00/ minimum fare normally)
If you want to visit Capones and Camara Islands, boat ride would cost 1,500 pesos (round trip), Anawangin alone is 1,000 pesos.
PS: Once you've reached Anawangin, you'll pay an entrance fee of 50.00 pesos and 100.00 for overnight stay. Not bad!
