After our overnight camping in Anawangin Cove, we crossed the waters of Zambales. Our plan was to hike to the Capones Lighthouse, but unable to do it because I was tired. 😊 Situated on Capones Island, this lighthouse was constructed in 1890 and lit on 01 August 1890 to guide local and international sea vessels. Until today, it still performs its role. By the way, the photo above was taken at the shoreline of Capones Island.
Potipot Island
It is an islet situated in Brgy. Uacon, Municipality of Candelaria; a few hours of land travel from Manila. Before the coves of San Antonio were discovered, this island was first hailed as one of the finest gems of the province because of its fine white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and relaxing ambiance. Since it is separated from the mainland and is in a remote area, a few visitors can only visit.
Liwliwa Beach
This place is prominent for its beach and surfing waves. Our group, Batang Hamog Mountaineers, has been participating in the annual celebration of Philippine Independence by creating an activity focusing on #Kalayaan, #Kasarinlan, #Freedom, or #Independence. This year's event was Freedom Surf 2018 held at Home Break Hostel, one of the simple resorts in Liwliwa, Zambales. If you're unfamiliar with this spot, it's normal because prominent surfing spots usually are Siargao, Baler, La Union, and many others. Now Liwliwa, in Zambales, is the newest addition to the list.
Magalawa Island
This is a stunning place with crystal water and fine white sand beaches. Since the province is located in the northwest of Luzon, facing the West Philippine Sea, a lot of gorgeous beaches are yet to be discovered, and Magalawa is just one of them. There are a few stretches of fine white sand and island beaches that are picture-perfect. By the way, after our outreach program was held at one of the Aeta Communities in Iba, Zambales, we proceeded to this paradise. It's almost an hour's travel from Iba, passing on the concrete roads by the beach, yet we were rewarded with amazing beauty.
