Nagsasa Cove

14° 49.2′ N · 120° 6.4′ E · approximate

The quieter, wilder alternative to Anawangin: a long beach under Mount Nagsasa with a creek at its southern end and a waterfall in the hills behind.

Practical

Coordinates approximate: the end point of the mapped Pundaquit bangka route into the cove (OSM). Nagsasa Falls is about 2.6 km inland (OSM 14.8341°N 120.1290°E), reached by the Nagsasa Trail. Wikivoyage: quieter than Anawangin, little phone signal, and a shallow creek near the southern edge. Camping only; bring all water and food. West-facing like the other coves.
