Wild Rose Beach Inn

We stayed in this place called Wild Rose Beach Resort Inn. We stayed at the Inn for 2 nights and 3 days. Wish we had stayed there longer. I love the place a lot. I stayed there for 3 hours waiting for the sun to set. You can see everything once your up there. The sea, mountains, nearby houses, and the canopy. The lighthouse is the tallest structure in Pundaquit.

We rented the Kubo and 2 Rooms. The Kubo is super cool, seperated into two rooms with a fan and comfortable. we rented 2 airconditioned rooms. I stayed in the airconditioned room, the room is clean. The bathroom is cool. everything is fully functional, water heater and all. It contains everything that you ever need. Wild Rose has cool interiors, specially the main building. It has its own Wifi spot! Beat that, having a wireless network in Pundakit is cool. The karaoke area is a hit, lots of people stay there and there is the bar with all the drinks that you wanna order. The swimming pool is really clean.

Anawangin Cove

Pristine and secluded, the beach of Anawangin Cove is fast becoming a popular tourist destination near the Subic, Zambales area. Surrounded by pine trees and carpeted by volcanic white sand from Mt. Pinatubo's eruption, Anawangin cove looks like a winter scene in the tropics. The sand is very fine and beach very wide. During low tide, the beach is very long and wide and the waters calm, making it ideal for swimming.

What I Like About Anawangin

There are a lot of things to like in Anawangin like its beautiful beach, crystal clear waters, and mysterious pine trees. What I like most about the place though is the simplicity of life when you are in it - no electricity, no cellphone signal, no resorts, just the basic necessities and without the distraction Anawangin of technology. That way you can appreciate the beauty of nature more and you will have more time bonding with your companions.

Things to Know in Pundaquit Travel

Pundaquit is a fishing village located in San Antonio, Zambales. The primary livelihood in this small, yet lively and beautiful town is fishing and tourism. Locals who speak both Ilocano and Zambal, also speak Tagalog as well. They will be more than willing help you if you ever lose your way to the winding roads from the town traveling to the beaches of Pundaquit.

This town is primarily known for its calm and clean beaches compared to San Narciso, San Felipe and upwards the shores of Iba Zambales. Even though the waters of Pundaquit is facing the open ocean of the China Sea, it is sheltered by the hills, mountains and its neighboring islands. It is also the best jump off point if you want to visit the Camara Island, Capones Island and Anawangin Cove since it is the closest shores to these destinations.

Very few people have gone to the farther, more pristine coves known as Nagsasa Cove and Sinlanguin Cove where a few friendly and hospitable Aetas live in harmony with nature. Unknown to many, these coves offer a more relaxed and quiet environment for tourists and campers alike during their stay and adventures in Zambales.

The one hour boat ride to these two coves will be worth the money and time spent once you step on the fine white and grayish sands of its shores.
