Escape to Capones Island – Zambales’ Hidden Gem

#summervacay Just off the coast of Pundaquit in Zambales lies Capones Island, a quiet escape known for its pristine white sand, turquoise waters, and dramatic rocky cliffs. With no commercial resorts around, the island feels untouched and peaceful perfect for those craving a simple day of swimming, snorkeling, or just soaking in the sun. Atop the island sits a century-old lighthouse, offering sweeping views of the West Philippine Sea. Whether you’re into nature, photography, or quiet adventures, Capones is a lovely side trip that feels worlds away from the busy mainland.

Anawangin Cove

A decade ago, Anawangin Cove was where you should go if you wanted to be alone on the beach. But that’s not the case anymore. Anawangin’s popularity skyrocketed over the years, and it’s not hard to see why. Its coast is strewn with volcanic ash, spewed by Mt. Pinatubo in 1991, and then shaded by towering agoho trees, a type of casuarina tree that thrives by the shore. This combination, while not unique, is far from the usual beach landscape in the country. All this is magnified by its proximity to the capital, Manila, just 5 hours away. The view from the southern hill that separates the main beach from another beach. If you’re facing the sea, simply follow the shore to your left and you will reach a trail up a hill. Climb to the top and you’ll have a fantastic panoramic view of the area. #newphotographer#scenicspotguide#unforgettableexperiences#instagramworthydestinations#holidayvacation#tripinspired#happynewyear
