This is my first time to travel together with my best buddy and before this trip was finally push thru there are lots of issues with our schedule and also our budget but after all those things when we finally get in there all i can say is! It's aaahwesome! After a decade since i visit white beach in Bicol, finally, Anawangin, Capones, Camara Island presents a pristine beauty of it self that makes me amaze!
It's one of the beach near Manila were you can unwind and
escape from the busy life in Metro approximate of 5-6 hours trip from
Cubao Victory Liner Bus Station (to be specific)

| Pundaquit, Zambales Shore |
Were really excited on this trip so we took a picture right away after our tricycle drop us off and with over exaggeration were thinking to roll over the sand and start swimming like a child whom first time to saw a beach..hahaha but still we control our selves to do that its shameful!.
There are lots of Beach you can chose with side trips and there's corresponding amount for every trip the only transportation is travel via boat On our case we only chose Anawangin Cove side trip to Capones and Camara Island and as i remember there's also Nagsasa Cove and Talisayen that would take an hour before you get in there.

| Going to Camara Island |
Camara Island
According to our boatman Camara Island is divided into 3 small island.. The Mother Father and Child.. haha (galing no!) it's not actually white beach, it's only called white beach because of the white and black small pebbles on its shore.. around 30mins from Pundaquit shore to Camara Island..

| Going to Capones Island |
Capones Island
This is the most beautiful beach among the three island that we visited it is actually white pebbles along it shores.. This is also the location of the White house-- but sad to say-- we have'nt saw it any way my buddy suggested to stay here coz it's very beautiful yet less crowded and if any case something happened were near at pundaquit shore.. we can swim go back there (hahah just kidding) ..still we decided to go to Anawangin coz we already pay for complete package on this trip.
