 pres_16 Says:  With the beautiful panorama of Anawangin Cove and the place being less touristy, this is a great place to try out your skills in photography. We have met one photo journalist here who shared us some of his photo skills.Unfortunately, my camera's memory card was not a good... 

 pres_16 Says:  There is a vantage point in this mountain that provides the visitors a whole view of Anawangin Cove and its awesome sorroundings. Go hiking thru a steep trail and reward yourself with the awesome panorama. It feels good everytime I remember this fun climb. 

 cyndymc Says:  Camara and Capones Islands can be seen from the beaches of Pundakit. Tourists usually go island hopping to these places before going to Anawangin Cove. We did just that. Camara Island, the closest island from the shores of Pundakit, is a big lump of rock with very little... 

 cyndymc Says:  Your boatman is not merely the person who will bring you to the islands/cove. The "bankero" is also your travel guide, protector while on the sea, interpreter, and he can also be your camping assistant (he can help you with pitching tents, cleaning up or even cooking your... 

 cyndymc Says:  Camara rocks- figuratively and literally! As mentioned earlier, Camara Island is a big lump of rock formation.To nature lovers, it will always be fascinating to examine the different rocks found in an island. In Camara, you just won't have enough of rock exploration, as each...

 cyndymc Says:  A friend of ours who frequent Anawangin Cove warned us NOT to pitch our tents in the middle portion of the Camping Area where the pine trees are so close to each other. He was already forewarned by his friend-'bankero" to always pitch his tent near the caretaker's... 

 cyndymc Says:  Our friend who goes to Anawangin almost every other month warned us to keep watch of our tents, and not to leave personal things, including our portable gas stove unattended even for a short time. In our group, we agreed to take turns in keeping watch of our tents and... 

 cyndymc Says:  Ordinary sand is already hot when the sun is up; what more, if the sand is mixed with volcanic ash. That's exactly what the sand in Anawangin Cove is composed of; tons of volcanic ash that fell on the area during the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo, "creating" the white sand beach.... 

 cyndymc Says:  Fortunately now, all bancas are required to give each passenger a lifevest (unlike before, when you had to bring your own lifevest if you want to make sure you're safe). I noticed some tourists, especially the men, didn't wear their lifevests despite the strong waves. The...
