A rocky island off the coast of San Antonio, Zambales, famous for the Spanish-er…
A rocky island off the coast of San Antonio, Zambales, famous for the Spanish-era Capones Lighthouse and crystal-clear waters. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes by boat from Pundaquit.
Google rating: 4.6 stars.
Location & How to Get There — The island is only accessible by boat, and the main departure point is Pundaquit Beach in San Antonio, Zambales. From Angeles or Clark, take the SCTEX to Subic ( Tipo Exit), which takes about 45 to 60 minutes, and then continue on local roads past Castillejos and San Marcelino to San Antonio. For public transportation, take a bus from Dau Terminal bound for Olongapo, then from Olongapo take a bus bound for 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 — There is no up-to-date data solely for visiting Capones by boat, so it is usually included in island hopping tours. According to Pundaquit resort Capones Vista, island hopping for Capones + Camara Islands costs ₱2,500 for 4 people (+₱350 per additional person), and adding Anawangin costs ₱3,000 for 4 people (+₱400 per additional person). Departures start at 6:00 AM, the last departure is at 2:00 PM, and the maximum duration is 5 hours. Capones hopping is also frequently included in overnight packages for Anawangin and Nagsasa. There is a Pundaquit environmental fee of ₱20 per person.
Things to See — You can hike up the rocky coastline to the Capones Lighthouse (a still-functioning lighthouse) on the western hill of the island in under an hour, offering great ocean views and sunsets from the top. The interior of the lighthouse may not be accessible, and the iron stairs are old, so be careful. Swimming and sunbathing can be enjoyed on the eastern beach.
Tips for Visitors — The currents around the island are strong and waves tend to get higher in the afternoon, so heading out early in the morning and returning around noon is the safest schedule. During the rainy season or at low tide, boats may not be able to pull right up to the beach, so you might have to step into the water to get on and off. There are no shops or trash cans, so bring your own water and snacks, and make sure to pack out your trash. Since there are many rocks, aqua shoes are recommended, and make sure to wear a life jacket.
