Google rating: 4.4.
Location & Getting There — The departure point is Pundaquit Beach in San Antonio, Zambales. From Angeles and Clark, take the SCTEX to Subic (Tipo Exit) for about 45 to 60 minutes, then continue via national roads past Castillejos and San Marcelino to San Antonio. For public transport, take a bus from Dau Terminal bound for Olongapo, then catch a bus from Olongapo heading to Iba or Santa Cruz, get off at the San Antonio Public Market, and take a tricycle (₱40 per person, 15–20 minutes) to Pundaquit.
Boats & Rates — A round-trip boat ride from Pundaquit to Anawangin costs ₱1,500–2,000 per boat (maximum of 4 people), while island hopping covering Capones Island, Nagsasa, Talisayin, and Anawangin costs ₱3,500–4,000 per boat. An environmental fee of ₱20 per person is collected upon entering Pundaquit, and separate fees apply for beach resort entrance (₱80–180 for day use) and overnight stays. Local operators also sell overnight packages that include the boat, entrance fees, and tents.
Attractions & Facilities — Features include a gray sand beach formed by accumulated Mount Pinatubo ash, an agoho (casuarina) tree forest, a river estuary, and a hill viewpoint (₱50) overlooking the entire bay. Accommodations offer only basic facilities like tents and teepee huts, along with toilets and shower rooms (₱20). Hiking from Pundaquit over the mountain takes 4 to 5 hours.
Tips for Visitors — Electricity is available only from 4:00 PM to 8:00 AM via resort generators, and mobile signals are weak. Buy drinking water and groceries in advance at the San Antonio market, and pack out all your trash (a garbage deposit system is in place). Day-trippers must return to Pundaquit before sunset. During the rainy season (July to September) or on rough days, boats may not sail; follow the boatman's judgment and always wear a life jacket. Emergency contact: San Antonio MDRRMO 0964-769-0801.

Summary of Online Reviews
Synthesizing posts from 4 Naver blogs (3 visit logs and 1 informative post, spanning 2015–2025), reviewers commonly note that because mountains enclose the beach, it is difficult to reach on foot and requires a 20- to 30-minute boat ride from Pundaquit, during which you can admire sheer coastal cliffs and vibrant multi-colored waters. Tents and cottages clustered in the shade of the agoho forest behind the beach attract many local campers, and a short walk past the forest leads to a freshwater stream you can enjoy alongside ocean swimming. Many reviews mention that the water is shallow and gentle, making it comfortable for swimming. The convenience store sells only basic drinks and snacks, and with mobile signals practically non-existent, advice is frequently repeated to bring plenty of drinking water, food, flashlights, and bug spray. Some reviewers suggest wearing swimwear as you are likely to get splashed by waves during the boat ride, and recommend visiting on weekdays since weekends and holidays tend to be crowded.
