Ain’t goin wrong with Beaches here in the PH!

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

Beach Camping at Anawangin Cove!🇵🇭

#timetotravel What a nice weekend getaway in Zambales. A unique experience for my family as we camp by the beach in the middle of the pine trees. It is such a picturesque place where you can enjoy, the sun and the beach with a little bit of greenery from the pine trees around. You will need to rent a boat to reach the cove and once you reached the cove you need to rent a tent if you wish to stay overnight. The views on the way to the cove and from the cove towards the ocean are just mesmerizing. The beach itself is not the nicest but the overall experience is good enough. How to get here: There are plenty of boats from Pundaquit and boatmen are very corteous and welcoming. They will even offer to help you set up your tent. Enjoy and experience camping by the beach. ! #tripblazers #mytripvlog #beach #camping #philippines

It’s a small island boasting light cream sand and clear turquoise waters. #beachlife #awesomepic #islandtravel

Shutter Island and other beaches

Have you ever watch the shutter Island? When I arrive the beach of San Antonio in Zambales looking at the amazing island of Capones! it’s so beautiful that I looks like the shutter island movie feels. The island is surrounded by white sand beach best to stay over night also an old Spanish era lighthouse where you can take 360 photos, but best capturing with drone! #urbanexplorer #capones #zambales #philippines #china #explorewithtony #naturelover #adventure #life #photographersdayoff #leaveyourmark

Pundaquit beach

Your home away from home! Pundaquit is located in San Antonio, Zambales, a village where fishing and tourism are the primary livelihoods. This is the place where "Going Turista" stayed for a day to explore the beauty of this famous beach visited by tourists from nearby provinces and probably all around the Philippines. #beachlife #tripblazers #awesomepic #amazingview

The trip to the falls usually comes after all the island hopping. It's a mini trek going up to the falls which is manageable for just about everybody. To get to the top of the falls, however, is a feat in itself. Locals make it seem so easy but the rocks are covered with moss making them slippery and hard to step on. None of us went on to the top of the falls. We settled for the middle part. It wasn't our loss though because we had mini pools of spring water to wade in for a bit. Just make sure to keep an eye out on children when you go there. It migh get dangerous. Here are some photo during our trek. #nyedestinations#decembertravel#instagramworthydestinations#holidayvacation#tripinspired#happynewyear
