Zambales Coves - Weekend Roadtrip

It's another weekend. 😎

While everybody else enjoys the snow and the cold weather in various places of the world, our thirst for salt water resurfaced. So, off to the beach, we went. This time, we hit the coves of Zambales.

We left Antipolo at around 5 o' clock in the morning and had some sweet stop overs in Quezon City, Clark and Subic. A road trip cannot be complete without a coffee break. 

Who wouldn't agree? ☕️☕️☕️

Below is my frappe with Olaf's key rings - Tigger from HK Disney and my 1988 Los Angeles chain from Gift Creations.

 

We arrived Pundaquit at 11 o' clock in the morning - just in time for lunch.

Our rice meals were consumed swiftly, but this rare dessert (below) found a room in my camera phone. 

 

This is a view of the West Philippine Sea (above) from our cottage with this famous dessert - iced buco salad.

We capped the night early after an afternoon stroll to the beach and a little bonding over beer. 🍻

The next day, we went island hopping to the coves of San Antonio, Zambales. We left at 6 o' clock in the morning. 

 

Our first stop: Nagsasa Cove. It is an hour away from Pundaquit. 

 

There are several campers and this campsite caught our attention. The sand is gray but is clean and powdery. You can walk with your bare foot.

We had our breakfast at this island. 

 

Our next stop: Anawangin Cove - thirty minutes away from Nagsasa Cove.

The sun was scorching hot so we didn't bother to walk around. 

 

We stayed at the shades of the trees near the camp sites and had pinipig crunch by the fence.

 

The sand here is also gray but is cleaner and more powdery than Nagsasa.

Next stop: Capones Island - thirty minutes from Anawangin.

This, for me, is the best of the four islands in this trip.

The sand is white but is not powdery. You would hurt your feet if you walk without slip ons. So, it's better not to take your aqua shoes off.

The sea is deep blue and the rock formations are breath taking.

 

 

Our next stop: Camara Island - twenty minutes from Capones.

 

The floor of the island is coated with these pebbles and tiny shells that are pleasing to the eyes and are foot friendly. 

This is the smallest of the four islands.

After a few minutes, we went back to Pundaquit and had our afternoon mango shake.

We went back to MNL the next morning. We left at 5 o' clock.

Here's Olaf (below) parked at SCTEX.

 

Until our next trip! 😎😎😎
