Anawangin with a Kid: 8 Things to Do in Anawangin

I grew up in a coastal town. Maybe that's the reason why I'm not that fascinated with beaches like most urbanites. I'm only interested in beaches that have something else to offer aside from sun,sea and sand. Besides, I have a kid in tow so the destination better be really good para sulit ang byahe.That's why when I saw a picture of Anawangin Cove, I knew right away that it's the kind of beach we should visit.

I was right. We stayed there for three days but no one wanted to leave. Anawangin is definitely not your typical beach. Here are some things you should do while in Anawangin:

Let's start with the obvious...

Swimming

Camping

Watching the sunset

Trekking

Exploring the "Woods" and Stream

Sleeping on the grass like an annoying hippie

Making a Bonfire. Yep, they allow it. Just be responsible and don't make a fire so huge you'd cause a heart attack. You can gather dry twigs and leaves in the "woods" (so safe, don't worry!) or if you're too tired to do this, you can just buy a bundle of them at the store for P100 (omg, right? too pricey!). 

Staring blankly at the pine trees
