QUEZON City, Philippines (Eagle News Service, May 19) – Current a favorite spot for summer vacationers and beach enthusiasts, Zambales has become popular for its isolated beaches. Pundaquit, Anawangin, Nagsasa… these are just some of the well-known coves in the province.
What sets the beaches of Zambales apart from other locations in the country is the blessed isolation. Just a few kilometers away from the Metro and you can get away with all the stress associated with city living and unwind in the middle of the pine tress, the mountains providing a cool breeze while the sounds of the waves serves as your background music.
There are also many places where you can eat your stomach’s fill with nice and definitely scrumptious dishes.
