Nagsasa Cove x Capones Island Itinerary and Budget
By Angel Macaraig - Sunday, May 22, 2016
I've been to Zambales so many times already but never to the popular destinations located in San Antonio. When my friends asked me if I wanna join their Nagsasa Cove adventure, I became really excited for the following reasons:
(1) I've seen a lot of photos of the place online and it's undeniably beautiful!
(2) This secluded paradise is not crowded yet, unlike other mainstream destinations.
(3) And if ever I'll join them, it'll be my first time to camp! (yay, crossed it off my bucket list!)

Good morning, sunshine! |
Arrived at San Antonio, Zambales (Municipal Hall) |
Heading to the market |
Pundaquit Beach
The Pundaquit Beach is 10-15 minutes tricycle ride away from the market/ municipal hall. This is where we met the representative from Happy Travel and Tours to get the materials (tent, utensils, etc,) that we rented as part of the package. From Pundaquit beach, we rode a motorized boat that brought us to Nagsasa Cove.During our waiting time, we took a lot of pictures at Pundaquit Beach:
