Nagsasa Cove

Nagsasa Cove sits on the Redondo Peninsula in San Antonio, Zambales, roughly 1.5–2 hours by banca from Pundaquit, making it less visited than neighboring Anawangin. Like Anawangin, the cove was formed by Mt. Pinatubo's 1991 lahar flows and features an Agoho pine-lined beach with a calm, shallow cove. Its defining feature is a freshwater lagoon (estero) just behind the tree line, fed by a mountain stream — ideal for bathing when the sea is rough. Coordinates approximate: 14.819°N, 120.109°E. The cove has a handful of locally operated campsites offering basic facilities including nipa huts, outdoor cooking areas, and portable toilets. There is no electricity from the grid and no cell signal from any network. Waste management is managed by campers themselves. The cove falls within Barangay Pundaquit's jurisdiction, and a ₱20 municipal/environmental fee is paid at the barangay hall before boarding the boat. Overnight camping draws stargazers and those seeking a genuinely off-grid beach experience.
