This coming weekend is my much-awaited return to Anawangin, Zambales. I was first introduced to the island (or more appropriately, cove, as someone has corrected me in my multiply entry) when I signed up for Travel Factor’s Anawangin-Capones Photoholic Trip This time around, Jerome, from DEFTAC, is organizing this overnight trip and Chris and I are tagging along.
Only more than a month after, I’m already all so fired up to go back to the curved island with pristine white sand beach.
What to love about Anawangin
Travel Time. There are a lot to love about Anawangin. It’s not so far a drive from Manila for one. I used to frequent the Batangas resorts since it’s only 2.5 – 3 hour drive from Manila and the semi-white beaches are not so bad. I liked White Cove Resort (which was under the management of UCPB) in Nasugbu, Punta Baluarte in Calatagan, Playa in Calatagan, La Luz in Laya to name a few. I remember in college, Gina, King, Ryan and I spontaneously go to Batangas at our whim, regardless if we packed any bikinis or brought food. Having my conservative parentals, it was usually a day trip since I wasn’t allowed then to stay overnight. (How cruel right? Haha.) Nowadays, with the heavy traffic along SLEX, it turns me off to travel south nowadays.
Going to Zambales last February took us a quick 3 hours time. My friends tell me now that with the birth of the Subic expressway, it’d be so much faster an en route to Zamba. 2 hours maybe? We’ll test that this weekend.
There are no roads leading directly to Anawangin. One must take off from the Pundaquit beach and catch a 20-30 minute boat ride to the Cove. Boat ride costs around PHP1,000 one way, which can be shared by 5-6 people. You can also be more daring and go the long way by trekking 6 hours of open trails through the Pundaquit range
Virginity. It’s a double-edged sword. No resorts built around the cove preserves the pine trees laced around the vicinity for one. No resorts also mean that the place stays clean because there is lesser trash produced –which means no commercial pollution. But this also equates to not having a fluffy soft bed to lie in, no personal toilet and bath (which means you have to take a bath using the pump/deep well or take a boat ride to one of the Pundaquit resorts and use their shower), and all the other perks that hotels/resorts have like satellite TV. There are absolutely zero resorts in Anawangin, either you bring your own camp gear (tent and sleeping bag) or rent one from one of the resorts in Pundaquit. There are a few tables and huts (?) that you can rent for PHP 150 the whole day. By being virgin, I also mean there is no signal site at the Cove. One carrier has one bar of signal sometimes, but you have to be near the water to get a signal. Anawangin’s virginity sets it apart from other popular beaches like the overcrowded Puerto Galera or Boracay. Only about 20 mini-groups recline their tents in the area.
The Beach. White sand. Pine trees. Cool water. This is the perfect scene to lounge around, read a book, or watch the sunset. There’s also a marsh in the Cove streamlining to a mountain where you can practice photography.
Beach Must Haves:
Nivea Sunblock SPF 50
My skin easily burns so I need a higher SPF. I have Beach Hut, Banana Boat, etc. but I find Nivea’s non-greasy sunblock as the best in the market. It dries up fastest among the other brands and protects my sensitive skin the most.
Mosquito Repellant
As far as I can remember, there weren’t that many mosquitoes at Anawangin, but it’s always better to be safe than have a constellation of mosqy bites on your legs. I personally use Johnson’s & Johnson’s clear anti-mosquito lotion, but you can always rely on OFF lotion. If you really want to be over protective of your legs, or you’re just really paranoid about Dengue/Typhoid or whatever, you can buy this small gadget that steers mosquitoes away using its very low and indistinct sound that it emits. It’s only two inches small and has a clip-on, which makes it easy to clip on your pants or shirt. I forget what it’s called but I used it in Sorsogon during the Fireflies encounter along the Ogod River.
Digital Camera
If you have an extra battery pack, bring it. Two batteries are always better than one. There is no way you can charge anything on the Cove.
Drinking Water
Bring gallons. To replenish your skin and body of loss fluid due to heat and for washing in case there’s a long line by the pump. There are two water pumps on the Cove, but since people wash their dishes too. Sometimes you don’t want to wait 20 minutes just to get your hands and face clean.
Flashlight/Lamp
It’s absolutely pitch dark at night except for those who brought they’re own flashlights or gas lamps. Bonfires are prohibited in the area.
Beach Mat, IPod, Altec Lansing In Motion speakers, frisbee, food food food, wine or any booze, any good book…
I’m slowly drifting back… Letting the waves sweep me back to Anawangin.
nice wanna go there 🙂
WHAT A PARADISE, HOW MUCH PER PERSON, FOR AN OVER NIGHT STAY IN ANAWANGIN.. FROM PANDAQUIT, YOU THINK 2500 – 3K IS ENOUGH? IM PLANNING TO GO SOMWHERE ON MY BDAY NEXT WEEK, WITH MY FRIENDS OF COURSE,, BY THE WAY JUST LOOKING AT THE PICTURES YOU GUYS HAD A REALLY GREAT TIME IN ANAWANGIN.
” Behind the Beauty of Anawangin ”
Holy week,..long weekend ng March, nagkasundong mag out-of-town ang sampung magbabarkada. Ang napiling lugar, Anawangin. Para medyo malayo naman sa polusyon ng Maynila at ma-relax naman ang mga utak mula sa araw-araw na stress ng opisina. A week before pa lang nakapagpa-reserve na kami ng tickets sa bus, seat # 1 to 10 pa nga kami,ganun ka-excited. Wednesday 12midnight ang byahe namin, mabilis at maluwang naman ang kalsada kaya alas-tres pa lang ng madaling araw ng huwebes nasa SanAntonio na ang grupo. Ang San Antonio ay isang bayan sa Zambales na jump-off para papuntang Anawangin.
Madilim pa ng mga oras na yun kaya tambay muna kami sa plaza ng San Antonio, kwentuhan at kulitan muna habang nagpapa-umaga para makabili sa palengke ng iba pang madadalang pagkain, habang ang iba’y nakikipag-negotiate na ng tricycle patungong Pundakit (shoreline para maka-arkila ng bangka patungong Anawangin. Very entertaining ang mga tricycle drivers (dahil kikita nga naman sila sa amin), halos lahat nag-aagawan para lang kontratahin sila, nakilala Ko dun si Kodz, siya yung pinili namin kasi siya yung mukhang mas informative, yung iba halatang pera lang ang habol. Ayon kay Kodz lagi siyang naghahatid dun, marami na rin daw siyang suking manilenyo at labing-isang beses na daw siyang nakapunta sa Anawangin mismo. Sa tagal ng kwentuhan namin wala siyang nababanggit na delikado o sakunang pangyayari sa lugar, pawang kagandahan lang ng lugar, binigay pa nga niya yung cell number niya para ma-text ko raw siya kung pupunta uli kami dun.
Mga 15 minutes from San Antonio to Pundakit, pagdating dun negotiate na kami ng bangka, nakilala namin si Vic, isang bangkero sa Pundakit, wala kaming ibang usapan kundi kung magkano ang kontrata sa kanya at kung kailan kami muli susunduin mula Anawangin.
Around 7am nasa Anawangin na kami, hanap agad ng magandang camp area sa gitna ng matataas na pine trees, di ko ikakaila na maganda ang lugar, tahimik at relaxing. Habang nag-aayos kami ng mga gamit at nagpi-pitch ng mga tents, lumapit ang isang ale sa amin, maganda ang ngiti at mukhang mabait, malumanay ang boses niya ng sinabi niyang siya ang caretaker ng isla, siya daw si Aling Ligaya. Umalis saglit at bumalik na may kasama pang isang babae, buhat nila ang isang maayos na papag na gawa sa kawayan, binaba nila sa gitna ng area namin at sinabing patungan daw ng mga pagkain o anumang gamit. Sabay alis, walang ibang sinabi kung may bayad man yun o wala, pero napagtanong namin sa mga katabi naming naka-camp na dun na P50 per head at per day daw.
Habang nag-aayos ang grupo may mga nagluluto na ng pancakes for breakfast, set na din ng tripod ng camera at picture taking na agad, halatang sabik ang isat-isa sa muling pagsasama ng tropa, matagal na rin kasing walang get-together dahil puro busy sa trabaho at kayod talaga para sa mga magagandang plano sa pamilya.
After breakfast excited na ang lahat lumublob sa dagat, kanya-kanyang labas na ng mga snorkel, goggles, vest at fins, makikita sa mukha ng bawat isa ang excitement na i-enjoy at i-explore ang lugar. Di alintana ng lahat ang lamig ng tubig basta sige lublob, kwentuhan, tawanan, halos wala ring pahinga ang mga digicams sa kakakuha ng pictures. Enjoy ang lahat, walang kj, lahat nakangiti, nakatawa, masayang-masaya ang tropa, ang tropa na walang ibang hangarin kundi ang i-appreciate ang ganda ng Anawangin.
Kinagabihan, set-up na ng lamp, habang nagluluto ng dinner ang ilan, nakapalibot naman ang iba sa kamustahang kwentuhan, bumangka si Mel, tropa ko since college na arkitekto na, bumanat na naman siya ng mga magic tricks niya kasama ang isa pang tropa na lagi niyang nililibang, kami naman kahit bilib sa ginagawa niya di na lang naming pinapahalata. Natatandaan ko pa nun na nagbilin ako ng pasalubong kay Mel kasi naka-line up na siya sa opisina nila na pupuntang Hawaii. Natapos ang gabing yun sa malalakas na tawanan at masasayang kwentuhan.
Kinabukasan, Biyernes Santo. Snorkling uli ang ilan sa tropa, explore uli sa islang may magagandang corals at makukulay na isda, halos di mo mamamalayan ang oras sa sobrang pagkalibang.
Pagdating ng Lunch time, sabay nagsalu-salo ang buong tropa sa pagkain, pagkatapos yung iba umidlip sa pagkapagod. Bandang hapon ng nagkayayaan yung apat pa naming kasama na mag-swimming uli, dalawa sa kanila ang naka-vest kasama si Gwen, girlfriend ni Mel. Di naming akalaing may naghihintay na sakuna para sa kanila ng mga panahon na yon. Habang nagpapahinga kami sa camp site, bandang alas-kwatro ng hapon, nagulantang ang katahimikan dahil sa pagdating ng isang kasama nila Mel galing sa dagat, tumatakbo’t hinihingal habang sinasabing “nalunod si……nalunod si……”…..di pa man din siya tapos sa sinasabi niya agad naming dinampot yung natitirang vest at snorkel, dahil sa pagka-intindi naming nalulunod pa lang siya ng mga panahong yon. Hinihingal sa pagkakatakbo ng pagdating namin sa lugar, marami ng nakapalibot na tao. Pagpasok ko sa loob, nakita ko ng umiiyak si Gwen sa tabi ni Mel. Si Mel walang malay at langtang gulay habang sini-cpr ng dalawang lalaking di namin kilala, yung ibang kasama naming nangontrata na ng bangka para madala agad si Mel sa hospital.
Habang nasa bangka kahit walang malay patuloy naming kinakausap si Mel at pinipisil ang mga daliri sa kamay at paa niya. Halos paliparin ng bangkero ang bangka laban sa mga malalakas na alon ng hapon na yun. Bawat minuto parang ga-oras ang tagal ng byahe namin dahil sa layo. Tinatanong naming ang diyos kung bakit, mabait naman si Mel, mabuting anak sa pamilya niya, matulungin sa tropa, kwento pa nga ng girlfriend niya may ipon siya para sa pagpapatayo ng bahay para sa nanay niya, marami pa siyang gagawin….bakit si mel?
Pagdating ng Pundakit, ang daming tao pero kakaunti ang nagkukusang tumulong, kailangan mo pang murahin para tulungan ka sa pagbuhat. May nurse na lalaking lumapit he knows cpr daw, kaya bomba uli kami kay mel habang hinihintay yung ambulansya na pinatawag ng pulis na nakatalaga dun. Ilang minuto din bago dumating yung ambulansya. Kinailangan pa naming buhatin ang mabigat na katawan ni mel papunta sa gate ng resort para maisakay siya sa ambulansya, tantsa ko nasa 20 meters din ang layo. Dun namin na-realize na ganun kalayo ang tatahakin sa tuwing magkakaroon ng sakuna sa Anawangin.
Pagkarga kay Mel sa ambulansya, salpak agad ng driver ng oxygen kay mel, akala naming magiging ok na ang lahat, tsaka namin nalaman na ibabyahe pa sa kabilang town (San Marcelino), dahil wala raw hospital sa San Antonio,..Ang tanong, Bakit walang hospital sa San Antonio?
Ang nagpapalakas ng loob namin ay yung maayos pa ang kulay ni Mel at may pulso pa siya , alam namin na aabot siya kung madadala lang agad sa Ospital. Pero sadyang ayaw makisama ng tadhana ang tagal na naman ng byahe namin bago makarating sa Ospital. Pagdating sa San Marcelino Hospital, ilang minuto lang ng mailipat si Mel sa kama ng ospital, dun na sinabi ng duktor na din na niya kinaya…wala na si Mel..Ganun kabilis ang pangyayari..Di man katanggap-tanggap.
Pagsunod ng ibang kasama namin sa San Marcelino Hospital, dun namin sila nakausap tungkol sa pangyayari. Ayon kay German, (isa sa apat na magkakasama), tahimik at mababaw ang tubig, umabot man ng ilang metro mula sa pampang ang babaw pa rin daw. Nung nagsi-swimming sila, medyo may distansiya si Mel sa tatlong kasama, nagulat na lang sila ng biglang nagpupumiglas at sumisigaw si Mel na para bang may puwersang humihila sa kanya na sadyang di niya makayanang labanan. Magaling lumangoy si Mel, at lalong hindi siya lasing, wala sa sampung magkakasama ang nakainom, kaya nagtataka sila kung bakit di niya magawang makalangoy. Sumaklolo si German pero paglapit niya kay Mel di niya akalaing ganun kalakas ang pwersa ng current sa ilalim ,gayung tahimik naman ang tubig ng lumusong sila. Parang may halimaw sa ilalim na gutom sa pagkuha ng buhay ng tao.,..di kinaya ni German kaya pinilit nilang makaahon agad para makahingi ng tulong. May sumaklolo pero di rin nagtagumpay na masagip si Mel, nung may pangalawang sumaklolo tsaka lang daw nakuha si Mel na wala ng malay. Ganun daw ang pangyayari. Paano pala kung walang kusang tumulong?..malamang pati katawan ng biktima ay din a makuha.
Walang “Danger” signs sa paligid,..wala ring Lifeguard,..wala ring salbabida man lang na pwede mong ibato sa nalulunod. Para saan yung sinisingil ng caretaker ng isla?…ano lang ba yung maglagay man lang sana ng signs para aware ang mga tao na ganun pala ka-delikado sa lugar nila. Hindi kapakanan ng mga campers ang priority ng caretaker. Lahat ng ganda ng Anawangin ay nabura dahil sa pangyayaring yon, wala ka ng proteksiyon sa isla ang layo pa ng hospital na pagdadalhan sayo kung may sakuna.
Sabi pa ng isang nurse sa hospital na nakausap namin, di lang minsan may ganung pangyayari, dati daw may pamilya pang nalunod, meron din daw isang case na swimmer pa yung nalunod, Puro dayo daw yung mga nagbubuwis ng buhay, halos taun-taon daw. Bakit di man lang nababalita?..maging sa internet walang ibang balita kundi kagandahan ng lugar.. Kaya pala tahimik lang ang mga locals, mga tricycle drivers at mga bangkero dun, kasi pag kinuwento nga naman nila masisira ang hanapbuhay nila. Hanapbuhay nilang pagsasakripisyo ng buhay ng ibang tao.
Kung mahal mo ang kaibigan mo o pamilya mo, huwag mong ilapit sa mapanuksong ganda ng Anawangin, marami pang ibang magandang lugar. Gawin nating si Mel na ang huling biktima, at sigurado akong ikatutuwa ni Mel na makatulong tayo sa ibang tao na malayo sa sakuna. “Don’t be a victim behind the beauty of Anawangin!!”
At para sa’yo Mel, ang pagdarasal namin para sa Mapayapang Paglalakbay. Habang-buhay kang nasa puso namin. May you Rest in Peace.
*********************************************************************************************
Sa pangyayaring naganap ng araw na iyon, maisip sana ng mga taong nakapaligid sa Anawangin na hindi lang pera ang importante sa buhay ng tao, hindi lamang ang kikitain nila ang una nilang isipin at sa bawat sentimong mahahawakan nila galing sa mga dayuhan sa kanilang lugar ay may kapalit ding pwedeng mangyari sa mga mahal nila sa buhay. Huwag nyong hintaying balikan kayo ng tadhana at gantihan kayo ng kalikasan, huwag nyong hintaying singilin din kayo kapalit ng mga buhay na nawala dahilan sa inyong kapabayaan. Napakasakit mawalan ng mahal sa buhay, at sana ang buhay na ibinuwis ni Mel ang maging paraan upang mabuksan ang mga mata ng sambayanan na hindi nakikita sa ganda ng lugar ang kaligtasan ng bawat isa. Maganda mang tignan ang lugar ng Anawangin, pero may multong nakatago sa gandang nakikita natin. Huwag na po nating pabayaang may madagdag pa sa mga buhay na nawala sa lugar na iyan, huwag nyo pong isapalaran ang inyong mga buhay! Magandang pakikisama ng mga nagpapatakbo at nangangalaga ng Anawangin lalo na ni Aling Ligaya hindi po matutumbasan ng buhay na lalamunin pa ng isla ng Anawangin!!!!!
Mel, maraming salamat sa iyong kabaitan hindi mo pa man oras ngunit kailangan naming tanggapin ang katotohanang binawi ka na ng Maykapal. Marami ka ng taong natulungan, marami ka ng mapasayang tao, mahirap man sa amin pero kailangan mo ng tumuloy sa iyong pupuntahan. Alam kong nasa tabi ka ng Diyos na Maykapal, at alam kong magiging masaya ka dyan. Huwag mo na kaming alalahanin dahil binigyan mo na kami ng mga alaalang hindi namin malilimutan, napakabait mong kapatid, tito at lalong lalo na bilang anak sa mga magulang natin. Humayo ka na at matahimik sa kandungan ng Panginoong Diyos. Maraming maraming salamat kapatid ko!!!! Mahal na mahal ka namin!!!!

Hi Grace,
Thank you for taking the time to post this on the comments page of the entry. This helps the readers to be as informed as possible.
Are you a relative of Melvin? I am so sorry for the loss and I want to extend my condolence to you and the family.
With deepest sympathy,
Jane
hi! nice pics huh?! we are planning to have an out of town this coming last week of nov.. pano pmunta po ba pmunta jan?? mukang ganda!! pics palang ulam na! hahaha.. anyw1 can help us?? =)
Hi Grace,
I read this story also about Mel, one of my friend froward this story to us,a t first parang ayaw kong maniwala, ksi forwarded email, kaya I decided to surf on the web, just to check about this place Anawangin Cove in Zambales. Shall we say, the place’s still ok to visit provided not to swim on the particular place. Kasi according s story & comment that I read maganda talaga ang place only thing is ang delikaso is to swim. Can any one give us testimony or comments about it. Thanks for all the tips, I’m also interested to see this place but medyo natakot ako s kwento about Mel..
Anawangin has an generally SHALLOW depth. You can walk 300-400m from the shore and have the water level at around 4-5 feet.
The right hand side of the beach has a deep part – not that deep though (around 10 feet).
As with any place, there is need to take caution. Be alert and be wary of the dangers that you may encounter. Many people have gone to Anawangin (myself and my friends included) and guess what – we didn’t die because we didn’t bite off more than what we can chew.
Kahit saan naman mapanganib lumangoy kung hindi marunong yung mga lumalangoy. You could even drown in your own bathtub.
I’m sorry for the loss of life, but they should’ve understood that Anawangin is a virgin beach, unmonitored and untouched. It’s not a commercial destination. It is obvious that there are no life guards — that fact alone should’ve discouraged those who are unable to fend for themselves in deep water.
These risks should be understood by everyone who goes there (or goes to any beach with such conditions) before they step into the water.
It’s not a resort, people! It’s ridiculous to even blame the people of Anawangin who have been gracious enough to share their virgin beach with us for the small fee that they’re asking for. It was an accident – to some it could easily be a case of someone pushing their luck. Hundreds – maybe thousands — have gone to Anawangin and virtually all of them survived and had wonderful stories to tell to their family and friends back home.
Clearly, the problem is not with Anawangin per se – it’s NOT EXTREMELY dangerous to go there.It’s more contingent on how careful people are. Those who take greater risks will have a greater propensity of dying.
WALANG SIGNAL SA ANAWANGIN.
WALANG IBANG TAO HALOS.
That tells you right there that you’ll be down to the bare essentials once you’re there. Go to Boracay/Galera if you’re going to bitch about how Anawangin is far from emergency installations.
visit http://www.anawangin.i.ph.
it’s all about keeping anawangin cove a safer place.
also, there is an article about the danger “below” anawangin — BIGLANG LALIM.
cool pictures, that’s definitely one gorgeous to unwind and be stress-free. planning to there on May 2-3, any of you would go just mail me here ninomarcolee@gmail.com, actually it’s our first time to go there, and don’t know where to go. so if ever you guys going to may be you give us advice. thanks! 🙂
Hi Nino!
Willing to answer any questions you might have about your Anawangin trip.
Just shoot me an email at betweenbites@gmail.com
I hope you guys enjoy!

Eto pa isang hiwaga ng Pundaquit:
Nakapunta na kami twice ng family ko, una sa capones usland. Pangalawa sa Anawangin. Sobrang ganda ng lugar. Mapayapa ang tubig, hindi maalon, malinis at virgin pa yun place. Malinaw ang tubig, white sand beaches. Dahilan para naisin namin na balik balikan yun lugar.
Pero di na siguro ngayon.
Kaninang umaga, dumating ang balita, ang pinsanko na nagtour guide sa Pundakit Falls nalunod na magpahanggang ngayon di pa narerecover ang body niya. Kwento ng mga kasama niya, nun umulan biglang lumaki ang bagsak ng tibig ng falls, lumaki ang ilog at para silang nilamon ng ilog.
Dalawa silang magkakapit, yun sister in law niya na 15 y.o. at si Analiza yun pinsan ko. Inuna ng sagipin yun tourist na nalulunod ng makita ng mga kasamanila na ok sila.
Pag lingon ng mga kasama, isang iglap wala na silang dalawa. Sinisid yun buong ilog at yun maaari nilang anuran pero unti now tatlong araw na di pa narerecover yun katawan nila.
Nun una nabasa ko na yun kwento ni Mel at para bang di pa nasisira ang paghanga ko sa ganda ng lugar. Pero ngayon na naging biktima yun pinsan ko, baka di nakami maulit na bumalik sa lugar na yan. Gusto kong isipin na aksidente lang ang nanyari pero gaya ng kwento ni Mel masyadong mahiwaga yun pagkalunod niya gaya ng pagkawala ni Analiza sa ilog ng Pundakit.
Ayokong siraan ang Anawangin, Pundaquit, Capones o San Antonio, Zambales dahilminsan na din akong namangha sa lugar na ito. Pero sa likod nito nagtatago ang iba’t ibang kwento ng mga nakaranas ng magbuwis ng buhay dahil sa ganda ng lugar na ito.
ive been to anawangin last august 29, 09..grabe ganda ng lugar..before kme pumunta dun, mag pray kme together with mah 12 fwends. after nun, pagdating ng anawangin, we touch the sand and whispered a silent prayer na sana maging peaceful ang stay namin dun..sa awa naman ni God, nakauwi kmeng safe and walang nalunod samin..kasi inisip namin na, kung alam mong delikado, wag mong gawin..even if gsto m nang mligo sa dagat, nd na namin gnawa…kz before we went there, nag search na kme sa net kung anu ba ang mga dapat at hindi dapat gawin…cguro kung may mga nalunod man o nawala dun,,were very sorry bout that..accident talaga ang nangyari..
…grabe mizzz ko na ang anawangin…
Sarap puntahan ng lugar na ito,walang elektrisidad,wlang network na masasagap. Malayo sa ingay ng maynila,samantalang katahimikan sa araw araw mong buhay sa magulo at mabilis ganda.binulabog natin katahimikan ng anawangin …dapat igalang natin at alagaan ang nattanging ganda nito.
and now its near to destruction because of improper waste segregation by some campers…
