Camara Island

At Camara, rocky cliffs with coconut trees create many shaded area which are ideal for picnic. We settled under an imposing rock formation facing the east where we had a charming view of the quaint fishing village of Pundaquit bordered by the grand mountains of Zambales.

Zambales, located in the Central Luzon region in the Philippines, is perfectly placed for travellers seeking an authentic experience and beach getaway without having to go too far from the national capital, Manila. The region has been gifted with natural beauty, most famous for its sandy beaches and deep blue sea, rich with underwater life. Its shoreline is rugged and features many coves and inlets. Not to mention the region’s abundance of mangoes from January to April. For the perfect break I’ve got you covered.
