Some few years back, I first read about Anawangin Cove and it’s mystical beauty. So when I went back to Pundaquit last year with my sisters, I wanted to see it. Unfortunately, the boatmen refused to take us there because the waves are so huge, we settled for the equally enchanting Capones Island instead. 
So when I got the chance to have a weekend day-off and my dorm mate in college Maricel, the online editor of Businessworld, expressed her intent to join me in my road trips, I planned a not-so-organized trip to Anawangin Cove. I invited some friends too, I know I won’t be alone that time since it’s a weekend get-away. 
Unfortunately, it’s raining hard in Manila, so some friends who were supposed to go with us were scared and didn’t make it. 
It used to be a hideaway for mountaineers but now, Anawangin is one of the famous beaches in Luzon, but beyond it’s charm, is a great danger. Sadly, some parts of the beach that suddenly drops has claim lives yearly and trekking in the mountain rages to Pundaquit during rainy or stormy season has caused unfortunate accidents leaving a tragic memory to it’s victims and their friends & family. Despite the perils and warnings I’ve read online about it’s deep spots that constantly changes not to mention the garbage and crowd, I am still drawn by it’s mystery and beauty.
