what brings an extra thrill to see a place is to see it first from afar under a wonderful sunset. with the idea of going for an island hopping the next day, it was worth spending a night over a delicious dinner by the beach.
it was our company's outing and the choice of Zambales was just right. also on the same month two years ago, i was on the same coast but a typhoon was all over this part of Luzon island. so seeing the coast of San Antonio under a fair weather was something new.
the next day, we were off to drop by two islands, first was Camara which is just about 15 minutes away from the resort in Pundaquit. composed of two rock islets which on some rare conditions are connected by a small strip of sand.
the beach was enticing at first look but not when we noticed that dozens of small jellyfish were floating on one side of the beach. it could be a breeding season for these transparent creatures. definitely not the best time to enjoy its waters.
this is a popular island stopover when one visits Anawangin cove and Capones island. but because of its size, there's not much to do around the island except for snorkeling and beach combing.
when on a budget: to camp somewhere along the long gray sand beach coast of Pundaquit or best yet in one of the islands. we did the latter when we first visited these islands.
when there to relax: one option is Punta De Uian resort where we stayed for this trip.
escape factor:
road trip: 3.5

thanks for this post info. i'd love to link you in.. ;)
eto yung katabi ng capones diba? cool!
hay, too many islands, too little time.:p
wow, lucky you for being in a company that sends you abroad for work stuffs and taking you to a gorgeous island for a company outing. how cool's that?
kaya lang nakakatakot ma-sting ng salabay (o jellyfish?).
dong ho--ala. Dom. about sa sinabi mo sakin sa blog ko. natakot naman ako bigla. seriously. takot ako sa mga ganyan. hehe
You have so many chances to go island hopping. SO lucky to have so many islands. I also went island hopping over the weekend. But the island does not belong to my country..lol.
parang mapapatravel ako ng husto nyan.hehe
I'm glad that the weather was much improved for you on this trip.

The first photo was a stand out. I've never been to Zambales.
