DIY: Talisayen Cove-Capones Island, Zambales
![]() |
If you are looking for a quiet, not crowded
beach and not far from Manila, perfect na perfect ka dito bessss! Parang sayong
sayo ang beach na to dahil hindi lalagpas sa bilang ng daliri mo kamay at paa
(2 tenga, 2 mata, ilong na maganda. . . charr) ang tao dito.

Katulad ng Anawangin at Nagsasa ang buhangin sa Talisayen. |
Kasister to ng Anawangin at Nagsasa Cove, pero unlike them, si Talisayen ang pinakatahimik dahil nga hindi crowded.

View from the Grotto |
On the left side of the cove is the grotto.There
is a trail to follow so there’s no need for a tour guide. If you want a better
view, akyatin ang summit ng bundok para kitang kita mo buong cove. Just
remember, the mountain is quite steep.

Distant View of Capones and Camara Island |
Maganda ang buhangin sa Capones, creamy white at sobrang linaw ng tubig. Ingat lang dahil konting kembot lang ay malalim na agad. Malakas din ang alon dito compare sa Talisayen. Pero mas magandang magphoto taking dito.
