8 Activities You Can Do in Zambales on a Weekend

It’s Monday and there’s nothing worse than your friends clogging the feed first thing in the morning. #Zambales? With 247 photos? Again? Now if you want to catch some action of your own up north, Zambales is only about four hours from Manila, and driving it is just as convenient as commuting. You’ve got mountains, beaches and islands for your next adventure. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or an office zombie, here’s why Zambales is the best place to refuel and rejuvenate without draining your wallet.

Come next Monday, it’ll be your turn to clog the feed.

 

8. Surfing

Facing the West Philippine Sea, the waves in all of Zambales get exceptionally good during the Habagat and Amihan season. Some days it’s as flat as a tack and some days can get pretty world-class. Just make sure you know when to go.

 

7. Skateboarding

Some of the local surfers invested in mini-ramps and skate bowls so they can still get their fair share of stoke on land whenever the waves don’t cooperate. You get best of both worlds right there.

 

6. Skimboarding

You don’t need any waves for this one; all you need are your two legs, the shore and a piece of wood or a broken surfboard. Some of the country’s top skimboarders such as Manoy Bazaar and Arjun Jimenez  have even moved to Zambales to sharpen their skills.

 

5. Island Hopping/Trekking


Via Kulot's Pundaquit Island Tours

Off the coast of San Antonio lay a number of islands and secluded coves like the famous Capones Island, Anawangin Cove and many more.  You might want to book a trip before the typhoon season comes in around June-July.

 

4. Fishing


Via Kulot's Pundaquit Island Tours

This is the secret to how not to drain your wallet on a trip to Zambales. Of course you can still buy fish straight from the market but nothing beats heading out to sea (with the locals, of course) and literally catching your next meal.

 

3. Mountain Biking

Via Jaro Anillo

For mountain bike fanatics, the mountain ranges off Castillejos and San Marcelino offer some of the toughest (yet most) scenic trails on two wheels. Ride with a group—you wouldn’t want to end up living the Filipino version of 127 hours.

 

2. Camping

Zambales isn’t just for adrenaline junkies; you can always bring family and friends over and simply camp out under the full moon and the Ago-o trees.

 

1. Classic Company Outing.

Via Crystal Beach Resort's facebook

When you have a typical 9-5 (or really, 9-6. Or 10), there will always be a “team-building” trip and yes, Zambales has enough resorts that can accommodate bulk reservations. To name a few, there’s Crystal Beach Resort in San Narciso, The Circle Hostel in San Felipe and Megan’s Beach Resort in Pundaquit, San Antonio.

 

If you feel it, share your Zamba-lovin’ in the comments.
