Just the mention of the name Zambales will ring a bell for those who have gone to the cove that a trip to Pundaquit is never complete without feeling Anawangin’s mixture of volcanic ash and white sand beneath your feet.
It is a crescent shaped cove with a pristine white sand beach. What makes the place unique is the unusual riddle of tall pine trees flourishing round its vicinity. There are no roads leading to Anawangin. It is only accessible by a 30 minute boat ride from Pundaquit, San Antonio, or by a six-hour trek through hot, open trails thru the Pundaquit range. The cove's relative isolation has kept it free from development - as of this writing, there are no resorts on this sparkling piece of natural beauty, save for a few huts and deep wells. Just behind the beach is the pine forest and a marsh, where one can find natural springs feeding to the sea. The area is home to a number of bird species.

This was a good place to go now in summer season if you want a peace of mind and tranquility. It takes only 5 hours away from Manila. The place does not have phone signal, so it will definitely takes you away from technology for awhile. Away from the buzzing sound of the city and the place is not at all modified so you will definitely feel the camping mood and the nature as it is.
Hi. I am planning to go to Anawangin some time soon. I was wondering if the place is always this crowded or just during summer?
