and Yes, this island is just in front of our beachouse in Zambales.
FAQs:
What's on the Island? Nothing. Nothing but pure peace and silence, way less than the crowd in Galera and Bora. clear waters. great sunset. white sands that surround the whole island, its proximity to the mainland that allows visitors to reach it in only 5 minutes by banca, the lush vegetation and trees that provide shade along the beach (and sometimes even on the water).
What's Unique?
On one side of the island, going around 5 meters off shore, malalim na. On the other side, kahit 30 meters away ka na sa shore, hanggang baywang parin ang tubig. Sa back side nung island, may mga dead trees doon na masarap magpapicture at dun magandang manood ng sunset. Just don't forget to wear slippers dahil medyo masakit sa paa yung sand and stones sa part na yun. Sa other side naman ng island, pinong pino ang sand.
It tells a different story, too when tides change.
If you're commuting,
take Victory Liner (it's the only Bus that travels the whole Zambales)
take the ones going to Sta Cruz.
If the Caloocan station is full, try contacting the other stations like Cubao, and Sampaloc.
Fare is 400 - 500. (bring your school ID for 20% student's discount!)
Takes more or less 6-7 hours travel time by day, and 4-5 hours by night
Ask the conductor na ibaba kayo sa Beach House ni Dok, sa may in Bgy Sinabacan-Uacon border.
DrivingDriving there will take around 4-5 hours. We noticed that newcomers take 2-3 hours later because they stop at Subic to shop/eat/take pics.

Take NLEX, exit on Dau (toll fee: manila to dau is 218 pesos)
then take SCTEX exit to Subic (toll fee: 168pesos),
enter SBMA (toll fee 22 pesos),exit to Kalaklan gate.Take left to Subic.
Then just follow a the straight main road for around 2 hours. (approx 120kms) Follow signs that say "to Sta Cruz"
Basically, from Subic to Candelaria, it's just a straight path. you only have to turn right once (im sure you wont miss this junction) at San Marcelino.When you pass by a Truss Bridge saying "Vertical Clearance... 5.8M", that means you're in Candelaria.
8kms from the Bridge, is our Resort, on the left side.There's a sign there that says, "Beach House ni Dok." (After Tinidad Beach Resort, and Before Dawal Beach Resort)
We are a 10-minute walking distance from Dawal and Sunbloom,
*other tips while travelling:
Follow signs that say "To Sta Cruz" or "Masinloc" or "Palauig." If you have to choose between two, choose Sta Cruz over Masinloc; or Masinloc over Palauig. Candelaria is in between Masinloc and Sta. Cruz
Make sure you did all the necessary things to do at NLEX like gas-up, do restroom necessities, buy or eat snacks, because the 30-45 minutes at SCTEX has no Gasoline stations or rest areas.
Cheapest Gas rates is at SBMA.
Travel to the resort is quite long. But it's totally worth it.
