Capones Island
When going to Anawangin Cove or Nagsasa Cove, it will be so worth it if you will have a sidetrip to Camara and Capones Island. The usual rate offered by boatmen going to Anawangin Cove is Php200 per head up to 12 persons per boat and you just have to add Php50/head for the sidetrip.

| it is difficult to dock at the island, the water's a little bit rough and it is harder to cross because of the big and slippery rocks |

Capones Island Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse located in Capones Grande Island off the coast of Brgy. Pundaquit, San Antonio, in the province of Zambales, in the Philippines. The light guide international vessels coming from the north to northwest towards Subic Bay or to Corregidor Island Lighthouse at the entrance of Manila Bay. It has first-order lenses when it was first lit on August 1, 1890.
The original lamp and lantern were replaced with modern solar-powered lighthouse light as part of the Maritime Safety Improvement of the Philippine Coast Guard. Only the tower though was renovated and the keeper's house and the other buildings in the station were left deteriorating.
