Zambales Sojourn - Potipot Island


Apr 5, 2009
Potipot Island
Zambales
After the Capones visit, we went back to Pundaquit to join Tita Cyndy and Kath before proceeding to Potipot Island.

Left Pundaquit around 11am already. The drive to Candelaria took about 2hrs and 1/2 at 80kph since one of the cars is being broken in and a slight delay because of the "accident".

Here I noticed how good the roads are in Zambales. No potholes at all!

We reached Dawal at half past 1pm so we decided to eat lunch first. We proceeded to Potipot Island around 3pm already. 







Zambales Sojourn - Anawangin (Day 1 & 2)

Anawangin Cove
Zambales


After a roller coaster ride to Anawangin from Capones (where we all got wet!), we arrived Anawangin cove around lunchtime.

It is a long stretch of white sand with nothing but pine trees, 2 water pumps, 2 kubos of the caretakers and a few shower areas and "comfort" rooms.

After finding a place to pitch our tents, we proceeded in preparing our lunch. 
Then, a quick nap before photo ops time.

Zambales Sojourn - Capones Island (Day 1 & day 2)


After Camara, we proceeded to Capones Island. But because of the rough seas, we were not able to dock at the cove near the Lighthouse.





Day 1 (April 4, 2009)

We docked at the wide beach area with creamy fine sand. From that place to the lighthouse, it will be about 1 1/2 -hour trek as per Sheldon...that means about 2 hours to 2 1/2 hours trek for our group. hahahaha.


So we spent about an hour picture taking, before we proceeded to our campsite. The beach area is so wide and the sand is finer---for me, a great place to spend a day of swimming. But, as expected from the islets in this area, there are no structures nor resorts here.
