For several years, I have been contained in the minute space and limited serenity offered by the Metro. Until... I have once again explored Northern Luzon and experienced the captivating beauty of one of it's best kept treasures - Zambales.Zambales offers a 173 kilometers of uncorrupted beaches, sheltered comfortably between the Zambales Mountain Range and the South China Sea. Although, this place was once enveloped by the inevitable catastrophic erruption of Mt. Pinatubo, the coastline, the beaches, the coves and inlets retain such inspiring awe.
Let's take a glimpse of what Zambales offered me during a two-night and 3-day stay in one of its pristine beaches - Pundaquit, San Antonio.
Welcoming twilight....
Good morning, Zambales! Look at these wonders! That's Capones Island; you can take one of the bangkas going there.
It's only a 30-minute boat ride from Pundaquit Beach and you'll feel the privacy of the uninhabited islands.
Let's take a wider view of these beauties. Zooming my cam out captured the nieghboring crocodile-shaped island named, Camara Island (middle). If you could take a much closer look, there's actually a sandbar connecting Camara Island and it's prey-like island (right). (Forgive me for my description; in my mind's eye, the bigger Camara Island looked like a croc and the smaller one, its prey!) What's really amazing about these islands is that you can actually traverse the sandbar during low tide to reach its prey-like extension.
Be bold enough to dance with the waves! Don't be deceived by the seemingly shallow waters! Few meters from the shore would lead you to a deeper depth... Mind you, if you're not a good swimmer, never attempt to dance with the waves for anytime soon, it could be swallowing you with its mighty current. Remember, Zambales actually lies in between the Zambales Mountains and the South China Sea.TO BE CONTINUED....
