The eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991 was so vast. Vast enough that its sand flow reached to the shore of the western coasts of Central Luzon, thus creating some secluded coves and beaches and one of them is the Anawangin Cove.

Anawangin Cove is in the province of Zambales, facing the South China Sea this unexploited white beach is one of the prime destinations in this province nowadays. Pristine and secluded, the beach of Anawangin Cove is fast becoming a popular tourist destination just a little beyond the Subic Bay Freezone area.
Surrounded by pine trees (execptionlly rare in the tropics) and carpeted by volcanic white sand, Anawangin cove is definitely a destination for those seeking adventure, white beach and island hopping in one package. The sand is very fine and beach wide and very long. The waters is calm making it ideal for swimming while the trees beside makes it suited for camping.

Although the 'executive' way to Anawangin Cove is by pumpboat from Brgy. Pundaquit in San Antonio, there is land route passing by a hilly ranges of Mt. Pundaquit. The trail passes through the shrublands and grasslands, affording breath-taking views of the nearby mountains and overlooking the white beaches.
