🌏NAGSASA COVE ZAMBALES - New Zealand of the Philippines?!🌏

⚠️HOW TO GET TO NAGSASA COVE: ⚠️

MANILA TO NAGSASA COVE

1. Catch a Victory Liner bus bound to Iba or Santa Cruz, Zambales, and get off at San Antonio Public Market. Travel time: 4-5 hours. Fare is between P270 and P360, depending on which part of Manila you’re coming from. Alternatively, you may also travel by bus to Olongapo City (P218 from Pasay; P207 from Cubao), and then board another bus to San Antonio (P58).

2. Take a tricycle to Pundaquit. Travel time: 20 minutes. Fare: P60-80 if you’re alone; P30-40 per person if you’re part of a group.

3. Rent a boat to Nagsasa Cove. Travel time: 30-40 minutes. Boat rates below.

If they’re charging you way over P300 for the bus ride to San Antonio, it could be because they think you’re getting off in Iba. Make sure it’s clear that you’re alighting in San Antonio.

PUNDAQUIT TO NAGSASA COVE

Upon entering Pundaquit, you will be stopped by officials to collect a P20 municipal/environmental fee.

Once you reach the beachfront in Pundaquit, find a boatman that will take you to Nagsasa Cove. Pricing is a bit complicated, so we have created a separate section below.

🌴WHERE TO STAY IN NAGSASA COVE

Nagsasa Cove is divided into several basic resorts. “Basic” because there are hardly any amenities, other than some open-air nipa and bamboo huts. Camping is still the name of the game in Anawangin, Nagsasa, and Silanguin Coves. You can rent a tent on site, but I highly encourage that you bring your own. If you don’t own a tent, buy one. Tent rental is around P500 per night, but you can find a good tent for around P1000!

There are cottages for rent too. Here are the fees you need to know:

NAGSASA COVE RATES

Entrance Fee: P50 per person
Overnight Fee: P100 per person
Cottage/Hut Rental Fee (Day): P100 per cottage
Cottage/Hut Rental Fee (Overnight): P200 per cottage
Tent Rental Fee: P400-500 per tent

🌴THINGS TO DO IN NAGSASA COVE

-Climb to the viewpoint for an amazing vista! The hill on the southern end of the cove — it’s on your left if you’re facing the sea — can be climbed. It’s a short, easy climb, so don’t worry too much about it. There is a sign that says P10 donation, but I’m not sure if it’s legit or where the payment goes.
-Swim and beach bum. The base of the viewing hill has shallower waters, so it’s a great spot to just take a dip and play around. But always be careful.
-Trek to Nagsasa waterfalls. Not too far from the beach are a few waterfalls punctuating the streams in the area. The nearest is probably 30 minutes (or longer, depending on your pace) away. If it’s your first time, you must hire a guide. Guide fee is between P30 and P50 per person.
Stroll along the inlet. Nagsasa Cove has a shallow, scenic inlet near the southern end of the strip.
-Watch the stars. If you have a smartphone, download a stargazing app like Google Sky Map for Android and GoSkyWatch for Apple. Limited or non-existent electricity on the beaches make them ideal places to watch the stars!
-Visit Anawangin Cove. It’s very similar to Nagsasa, but check it out too! It’s the place that put San Antonio on the tourism map. Entrance Fee: P50.
