It was again an amazing chance for me to experience firsthand the places I teach in my geography subject. Sad to say what is written on the book is limited only. Writers didn’t include the facts that are not famous even though they are equally, if not more, significant and beautiful than those already known both historically and geographically.
Just like Zambales. As what I only teach to my students, it is a province in Northern Luzon in the Philippines famous for Mangoes, where Subic Bay Freeport Zone is located and was one of the places severely affected by the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. Nothing follows. Our book at the present doesn’t tell new discoveries yet such as; ashfall brought about by the eruption settled and gave birth to natural wonders such as the Nagsasa and Anawangin Cove. I believe these places are likewise worth learning.
For me this is the most beautiful among all the spots in Zambales. But very few people have seen and known about these Coves.
Amazing place where you can see beach on one side, lake on the other.
Pine trees in between and mountain ranges at the back.

The refreshing blue crystal waters of the beach plus beautiful scenery of the place is perfect for camping and bonding moments with your friends and family.
There's no electricity and mobile phone signal in the place so it's a perfect time to escape from the ho-humdrum of the daily grind.
There is a common CR and water pump to share with other visitors of the place though.

The relentless howl of the wind echoing from the mountains and the lapping of the waves on the shore serve as soothing music to the ear.
There is a lot to explore in the area.
A lot of photographic possibilities to do.
bonding time with friends
or seize the ambiance alone
write your thoughts on the sand
or share it with others
go on a mountain trekking
or just walk along the shore
do your own jump shot
gather around bonfire at night
where the shores are just magnificent.
Or just simply take pictures around
In retrospect, Anawangin and Nagsasa Coves are places that might not included in the textbook as one of the best spot in Zambales but it doesn't mean that they are less attractive. As more and more people discover it we would surely see pictures and read about it in our kid's school books in the near future.

There are many boats for rent in the jump-off site in Pundaquit ranging from 1000-1400 depending on your itinerary. You may opt to trek the mountain of Pundaquit or ride a boat to reach the cove.
