Zambales is a coastal province on the western coast of Luzon, facing the South China Sea, and San Narciso is one of its quieter seaside municipalities popular with surfers and beach lovers. The province is known for Anawangin Cove and Nagsasa Cove — pristine bays fringed with white volcanic sand and pine trees accessible only by boat. Crystal clear water and consistent waves make the Zambales coast a favourite weekend escape from Manila.
