As an opening trip for the Travel Season 2010, Bong invited me for a trip in Nagsasa. The original plan is Anawangin Cove but due to the schedule restraints of the original pax, I agreed to join Bong's trip.
Nagsasa Cove is the more pristine sibling of the famous Anawangin Cove. It will take an hour of boat ride from the resort town of Pundaquit to reach this woderful cove. Bong never failed to bring excitement to me to the good beaches that he suggest. He always make sure that it will be more than the ordinary. He is my influence when it comes to beautiful beaches while I indulge him and a handful of his friends in the mountains.
Lots of things can be done in Nagsasa, Photography is one. Most of us here share the same passion and for anyone who is interested in Nature Photography, this is one of the best spot for you to practice.
I was amazed by the beauty of Cagbalete island when Bong lend me his snorkeling set. To see the fishes clearly on the water is exhilirating. This made me acquire my own set and another one for my girlfriend. Armed with Mares Snorkeling Set and fins, we made our way to the shallow parts of the cove to view the biodiversity down below. Nagsasa Cove has a lot to offer for snorkeling enthusiasts.
Nagsasa also offers a long white sand beach, not as white as the sands of Boracay but the mountain-swamp-pinetree-sandbar will make it one of the most promising places in Zambales.
One thing that is alarming here is the excessive number of tourists who flock in this part of Zambales. In Anawangin alone, it tripled the number of tourists compared to the days when it was still not popular, that was just 3 years ago. This is beneficial for the good people of Pundaquit for they earn a living from it. But development comes with consequences. Due to the high number of tourists coming in, we cant deny there is a very visible impact of environmental degradation.
Minimizing our impact to the Cove and to the environment will preserve this place for more years to come. We can achieve this in our very simple way. Simply by not leaving our trash there, we can save the cove. Avoid naked flame like bonfire for it releases carbon dioxide that contributes to Global Warming.
We enjoyed the trip, that's the bottom line. For those who wants to go to Nagsasa, feel free to ask me for itinerary but make sure that you will not bring any harm or heavy impact on the cove. Nature is out playground and we dont want to lose it.
Had a great start for the Travel Season, looking forward for more tri-pids.
