Gone Camping: Anawangin Cove - San Antonio, Zambales - April 2011

It is a crescent shaped cove with a pristine white sand beach surrounded by mountains of rocks.
*Popular destination for hikers, campers and beach goers. 
*Camp with those tall pine-like trees grow round it's zone.
*Rent a boat and off to island hopping. 

How we get there: 
1. Take a bus from Cubao QC bound for Iba, Zambales via Victory Liner. You can check details on their website : http://www.victoryliner.com/TerminalGuide.aspx
2. Drop off at San Antonio, Zambales town proper. You can buy food and other things necessary for the trip.
3. Ride a tricycle going to Barrio Pundaquit seaside.
4. Ride a boat going to Anawangin Cove. Bangkeros are offering their services at a reasonable price.

What's there to look forward to? 
1. There will be an entrance fee of P100 for overnight stay. This serves as a maintenance fee for the place.
2. Pitch your tent. The first people to arrive will be able to get the best place on the spacious campsite. Choose a place far from noisy neighbors! :P
There are some tables available too but, again.. First come, first served.
3. Cook your food using charcoal but, lighting a charcoal is not easy! Good thing we got neighbors that let us used theirs after they finished cooking so, we don't need to worry anymore to light the charcoal.
4. There are common toilet rooms and shower booths available. You won't have any issue with water because there is a water pump motor running. 
5. No electricity that is why you gotta bring your own lamp, dude!
6. No signal. Dead spot. But, you will enjoy the place, bonding moments with friends and socialize with neighbors. 

my travel experience: 6/10 

Enjoy your stay! :)
