We visited on a Saturday for a day trip from Manila. We left around 6am and arrived around 10am. (The return trip took over an hour longer due to traffic.) I searched online for a beach where we could surf, and Crystal Beach came up. Since it was our first time, we decided to visit because they offer lessons for beginners. It seems you can book online, but we decided to just walk in. Upon arrival, we found out at the reception that we couldn't enter the sea immediately due to high waves. Naturally, we couldn't start our surfing lesson right away either. However, after checking with the instructor, we were told that lessons would be possible around 2pm. We debated waiting for over 4 hours but decided to relax on the beach and wait since it was a rare opportunity. The entrance fee to the beach is 700 PHP per person. (There is also a deposit, but it will be refunded if you show the receipt when you leave.) We also received a 200 PHP coupon per person that could be used for food and drinks on the beach. There are villas available for day use or overnight stays. (In my opinion, the prices are a bit high.) We relaxed on the free shaded chairs available on the beach, watched the sparkling beach (which might be the origin of the name Crystal Beach), walked along the sandy shore, and had lunch at the beach restaurant. At 2pm, we checked again but were told we still needed to wait due to high waves. Finally, around 3:30pm, we were able to start the lesson. We were provided with long-sleeve wetsuits for surfing. We were taught the names of the different parts of the board, how to get on, and how to stand up on the board for about 15 minutes on land. Then we headed to the sea with the instructor. From lying on the board to being taken to the right spot in the sea and standing up at the right moment, the instructor assisted us thoroughly. However, I could only stand on the board for about 1-2 seconds. After about 30 minutes, the lesson ended. It was a very good experience. I think this is a great location for beginner surfers close to Manila. Even for those who don't surf, it's worth visiting to relax by the sea and refresh your mind and body away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

It’s in a seaside town called La Paz in San Narciso, Zambales! Escape from the madness of the city to this beautiful and quiet little town filled with welcoming locals, fresh seafood, and warm sun. If I could, I would love to spend all my weekends here forever! How to get there? From Metro Manila, you can take your private car and go through NLEX->SCTEX and you can arrive within 4 hours. Or if you will take the bus, you can go to Victory Liner Cubao (if you’re from the North)/Pasay (if you’re from the South) station along EDSA and ride the bus going to Iba, Zambales. Fare: about ₱500 or US$9/ person. Alight at San Narciso Bayan and ride a tricycle that can take you to your accommodation. Fare: about ₱40-50 or US$1/person. Lots of stays available to be booked on Trip.com! Hope to see you traveling to Zambales soon! #beach #sunset #philippines

As soon as the weather warms up, any Reggae songs on then head on the beach! Together with your Family, Friends, or Special Someone. Even in your alone time. There is no imperfect time to go because the best day is the sea days.Experience the happy feelings of being with the sea. Let's catch the Vitamin Sea. # Beachology. Be shore of yourself. Don't be crabby. Let your worries drift away. Drown out pier pressure. Soak up positive energy. Seas life moment. Dance with the waves, move with the sea. Let the rhythm of the water set your soul free. #staycation #beachlife #summervacation #foodie #awesomepic
