Silanguin Cove...the farthest of the newly “rediscovered” beaches in San Antonio, Zambales. While it bears many similarities with its neighbors, Silanguin is definitely the odd man out. While Nagsasa, Talisayin, and Anawangin are covered with volcanic ash, Silanguin is strewn with regular sand. It is not white-white. It’s not even beige. It is gray at best. But don’t judge the beach by its color. It has the most stunning backdrop. Reddish hills frame the cove, a stark contrast to their virid feet.

How to get to Silanguin Cove:
From Manila to Pundaquit - ride a Victory Liner bus from Cubao to Sta. Ana or Iba. Then rent a trike that will take you to Pundaquit.

From Pundaquit, you can rent a boat that will take you to Silanguin Cove.

Alternatively, you may also get to Silanguin from Subic Bay, but requires a longer travel time (2 hours).

Where to stay: Camping is the best way to experience the back-to-basics vibe of the place. If it’s not your thing, you may stay at one of the resorts. Puerto Silanguin has a two-room hut for P1500 per night. Entrance fee is P150.
