Capones Island, San Antonio, Zambales


Capones Island is located in San Antonio, Zambales. It is accessible via 30 minutes boat ride from Pundaquit (Pundakit) beach .  If you are planning to visit Anawangin Cove, you should not ignore this island, opt instead for an Island hopping adventure! Don't ignore Camara Island too...  

What to expect from Capones Island? Crystal clear water and a sand whiter than Anawangin's. But it is a rocky island so make sure to use a lot of sun block! You will definitely find difficulty looking for a shade!

From this view you can see that Capones Island is a big lump of rock!

from the opposite side you can see the mountainous side of San Antonio

In Capones Island you will find the famous Lighthouse, but since we brought kids with us and we need to hike, we decided not to go, which gives me a reason to come back again!! yey!! Smiley

As of this writing, you cannot find any beach huts in Capones Island, no public toilet too unless you want to hike to the Lighthouse. So make sure to bring everything that you will need if you want to spend a day here and provide your own shade and most of all ENJOY!!!Smiley

  6. Just look at these photos..so pristine beach lines and unexploited paradise. It is so beautiful. These are some of the reasons why there is more fun in the Philippines. Sadly, our country is not able to promote the beauty of the archipelago that the world would surely envy.

  26. I have heard of Anawangin Cove through bloggers around this group and then here comes another beautiful site in Zambales. I used to be familiar with Mt. Pinatubo when Zambales is mentioned, now I have Anawangin, then Capones of course!
