Camping at Nagsasa Cove and Snorkeling at Capones Island

We availed this 2-day-1-night camping package from metro deal for less than P1500 each. It included tent, 3 meals and boat ride. Nagsasa Cove is located in San Antonio, Zambales and is twice the distance of Anawangin Cove from the shores of Pandaquit. It is still considered as a virgin destination because only few people have seen this place.

It was a paradise. We loved how the color of the sky(light blue, white), mountains(greenish-brownish-orangy-yellowish), sand(gray) and sea blended perfectly. The sand was fine enough that being barefooted feels so nice. The shore was wide enough for playing volleyball, for bonfire or whatever. Even at a distance, the water was still shallow. No corals, no huge rocks, no nothing. It was pure sand. Perfect for swimming! 

One thing we didn't do that I wish we did is to climb the mountains surrounding the shore. For sure, the view from the top would have been great. Nevertheless, we had so much fun. We walked from one end of the shore to the other end. We saw the [river-meets-sea]. The river stretches from the mountains to the sea. It was nice to see the current of the river go against the current of the sea. It was our first time to see that.:)) We pitched our tents, swam, played cards, laid by the shore, took photos, and just enjoyed the company of AWS peeps and ofcourse enjoyed the tranquility that place had to offer. We went there to relax, and so we did.

(not sure if this was a natural fire or the locals that caused this. It started at the peak of the mountain, slowly burning all the dried grass.

The next day, we headed to Capones Island for some snorkeling. The view there was awesome. We loved the rock formation, the color of the sky, the color of the water, the sand, and the temperature of the water was just right. God is really an awesome artist. Not only that, He also blessed us with a beautiful weather that day. So perfect for swimming, snorkeling and pictorials. The sand was close to white. There were corals and and different species of fish. The waves were a bit strong though.

The sad thing is we saw some trash behind the huge rock formations. How I wish people will try to preserve places like this.
