We went to San Antonio in Zambales during the height of
Northwest monsoon. It was a Quezon City
day and we don’t have work, Maki and I went Pampanga to persuade a friend to
come with us. Ron, eventually came with
us in this trip. After 2 hours we
reached San Antonio, Zambales and asked direction going to Pundakit. The road going to our resort was a little
rough and we also crossed a signal from a Chinese radio station with our local
station.
After 15 minutes from the town, we reached Canoe Beach
Resort. It is a resort with good
amenities like swimming pool, beach front, nipa hut to stay and a coffee shop. The beach front was also a site for surfers
and there was an incoming event for surfing when we got there. We booked a room for an overnight stay good
for 3. We then asked for a boatman to
take us to Anawangin. The sky was
forming a rain in the horizon when we left the resort.
We headed to Anawangin cove.
The sea was not rough going to there.
As we enter the coast of Anawangin, everything was breath taking. The rich greenish trees of the mountainous
area that surrounded the cove and the white sand beach engulf our adventurist
site.
Anawangin is place for
camping. There’s a restroom and a store
for campers. We weren’t there to camp
but just to enjoy the view and to swim with the waters. I love the trees in the cove.
It rained while we were in Anawangin and decided to go to
Capones Island after the rain. We didn’t
know that after the waters of the cove as you turn left to the open sea, it was
raining hard and the waves were violent.
Our boat was not that big. There
was a thunderstorm in the open sea, as we saw lightning struck the waters. It was scary and longest boat ride I had for
a short distance travel from Anawangin to Capones Island.
It was still raining when we arrived in Capones and we
weren’t able to explore the lighthouse.
After 30 minutes we went to Camara Island. I love sand bars between waters. Camara has a long stretch of sand bar.
