Anawangin Cove 💕👀

Anawangin Cove is an Island located in Zambales facing south China Sea. The island is known for its soft white sand from volcanic ash spewed by Mt. Pinatubo in 1991 .

We arrive there at sunset and the view is dazzling, with cold breeze and fine sand touching your skin.

The island don't have electricity , I suggest that you bring powerbanks , lamps , and other things that may help lighten up the night.

They also don't have fancy rooms, but they have a kubo ( nipa hut ) and a cottage.

Water depth is around 5ft. which is friendly to people( adult ) that can't swim, it will take about 100 meter from the shore before you reach the deepness of more than 6ft.

Also the beach don't have plenty of rocks which means you can run and swim barefoot.

You can also climb up the hill , locals there are already creating a route/ladder that you can hold on to while climbing up.
