Anawangin is an island in Zambales, Philippines. It's known to campers and beach lovers. 

It's definitely worth it to travel to this beautiful place. You can just stay at the beach and look at the beautiful blue sea or you can climb the mountain (trek) to enjoy nature's gift. 

Here in Anawangin, there are no Hotels or resorts. You'll have to go camping if you are planning to stay overnight. But, no worries if you need water or snacks. There's atleast 2 or 3 stores there that can attend your needs. But, what we did, we packed everything we needed before going to the place.

THE JOURNEY

The group left the BUS at around 8am at Victory Liner Bus Cubao - going to IBA, Zambales. We arrived at the San Antonio City Hall at around 11am-12pm. 

at San Antonio City Mall
After registering, We called a tricycle to transfer us to the pundaquit port. And now we're off to Anawangin!



The travel just took about 30 minutes to reach the island. Upon arrival, we went and look for our spot. Now we're setting up our tents!

The Campsite at sun set... Beautiful, isn't it? 


So after setting up the tent, the group scattered. But I, went to the shore to check out the sun set. 



Others joined, so I took a few jump shots. Here's a sample:


So yeah, the night came. So here's a bon fire team!


Hand over the smores!!! Haha That's the best part for me. lol

We tested my friend's lights.





So now the 2nd day follows. I woke up the earliest as I'm really excited to go further around the island. And then, one by one, wakes up too. So we started cooking our breakfast and head to the beach to swim.



After getting ourselves wet. We went back to the camp site and others started drinking again, But I started packing my stuff. Haha

We took a few jump shots before boarding home.
