Side Track: Capones, Zambales

If you do online search for traveling to Zambales and you have set your eyes on Mt Tapulao - discussion forums, especially those of mountain climbing or 4x4 boards always suggest sidetracking to Capones in San Antonio, Zambales.


While Mt Tapulao is located in Iba/Palauig, located in northern part of the province, San Antonio is in the southern part. So, if you are heading back to Manila after the Mt Tapulao adventure, San Antonio is just along the way.

Capones Island and the Anawangin Cove are two of the tourist destinations in San Antonio, Zambales that are gaining reputation as idyllic pitstops if you are into summer getaways. The popularity of these locations are due to word-of-mouth advertising of people who have been there over the Internet, and just recently, exposure from main stream media such as GMA7's Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho.

So, here's Capones in pictures.
