Anawangin Cove
Anawangin has become our favorite getaway since 2012. It is our fifth time in the cove despite not having electricity and cellphone signal in the place. I also love going to places away from WiFi and televisions so I can get my children's attention all by myself.
How to get to Pundaquit?
Pundaquit is the jump-off point of Anawangin and Nagsasa Cove.
Victory Liner in Cubao has Iba, Zambales bound buses. Tell the conductor to drop you at San Antonio. Travel time is 4 hours. And from there, flag a trike going to Pundaquit. Trike rate is around Php100 per trip.
Via private vehicle:
From Manila, drive along NLEX until Dau. Enter SCTEX and make an exit to Subic. At the end of the Subic exit is the Olongapo Public Cemetery, turn left.
You will pass towns of Subic, Castillejos and San Marcelino. When you reach the intersection, there's a sign there that continuing straight is going to Iba and turning left will get you to San Antonio.
From San Antonio town, turn left going to Pundaquit. There are arrow signs going to the jump-off.
Before going to Anawangin contact first Vic Perges, the boatman, at 0929-7170739 especially during rainy seasons so he can warn you whether it is safe to go to the cove or not. Rates for smaller boat is Php 1,500 and for the bigger boat is Php 2,500.
Parking of your private vehicles is near the jump-off. There's a parking fee of Php150 for overnight and Php100 for daytour.
From Pundaquit is a 20 to 30-minute boat ride going to Anawangin.

| Welcome to Anawangin! |
The entrance fee to the cove is Php 100 for overnight and Php50 for daytour.
The first thing we did is to pitch our tents at our chosen area. It is near the beach and the river. Fresh air everywhere!!!
And then we stroll around the place...
You can kayak by a group or all by yourself.... That is free! The mini boat (and the only one) is just parked at the river...

After having lunch and napping in the afternoon, I invited them to go a little uphill the cove. It will only take you 10 to 15 minutes to get uphill. Breathtaking views await you.

After going uphill, it's time to swim....
And wait for the sun to set...
Good morning Anawangin!
Don't just stay in your tents, roam around the cove... At the farthest left of the cove are the rocky parts going to the other beach... Do some exercise and enjoy the scenery...
