Anawangin is a place that could be found between the remote mountains on Zambales where people couldn't get there by land through the rocky mountains surrounding it so you need to ride a boat from San Antonio to get there.
This place really makes me at peace. When we got there, the place is not crowded and the water is crystal clear plus the sand is so fine and white.
There is also a forest there where you can stay overnight and have camping with your friends or family. The place is so refreshing. It has a store there where you can buy foods for breakfast and snacks so if you are lazy to bring large amount of baggage to camp, don't worry because that have a store there for your snacks. Also, the tables and camping houses were not free. you have to pay it. Don't worry about the toilet and washroom because they have that there.
Plus, you can eat wherever you want. Just don't throw your trash anywhere because they have trash bins there where you can throw your trash or plastic wraps of your foods properly. As you can see there is a bamboo fence at our back. Inside that fence is the forest that have tall trees where you can put your tent if you bring for your overnight stay.
Also, you can explore the shore till you reach the farthest end of it just climb through the rocks then you will found out that there is more place behind that where you can stay or have your privacy with your friends or partner or family. Addition to that is you can have a snorkeling session with your friends and it has a shallow sea level which 4 feet people can enjoy the sea even you are far already on the shore.
