The bone-shaped island of Capones is home to scenic shorelines and spectacular off-white beaches, and considered one of Zambales' best. What is more amazing is that, wandering around the shores, you will discover than these shores vary in texture. The beach fronting Pundaquit is fine-off white sand while the beach at the back of the island fronting the open sea is more course. The left and the right-most part of the islands are bit rocky and not safe for swimming.
Here are some photos I have taken as I wander around the shores of Capones Island:

ayos! ayan na ang mga kuha ni lawstude. yung black sa buhangin hindi ko rin alam kung ano kasi maninipis din.
ReplyDeletebloghopping. simply beautiful shots.
ReplyDeletethe night shots are trully amazing. The edges are subdued and there's a mellowdramatic effect creating a melancholy feeling. It brings another side of blue... it's probably this time when you will hear the mermaids singing their sad songs ...beckoning
ReplyDeletek... i should stop before my imagination overtakes me...lol
thanks for sharing Lawstud!

ReplyDelete:D
Another amazing photo series. lovely beach!
ReplyDeletedapat me photo exhibit na to. organize ka na ng mga bloggers!
ReplyDelete@ kris jasper van dyke - syempre naman kasi nainspire ako sa mga kasama kong Lingkod ng Panginoon kaya dapat may footprints in the sand.
ReplyDelete@ undecipherable indentity - salamat bro.
ReplyDelete@ pietro - thank you. i like the night shots because i have to make do with the little lights available.
ReplyDelete@ george - (nosebleed moment na naman) thanks.
ReplyDelete@ the dong - oo nga. di naman sya dumidikit sa paa eh. parang uling na pino lang.
ReplyDelete@ photo cache - thanks and welcome to my blog.
ReplyDelete@ em - your welcome em. i play around with the shots for awhile. i know it's not perfect by any standards but i simply like these shots.
ReplyDelete@ tentay - pareho kami halos ng mga subjects ni dong at pareho rin maganda shots namin (yabang namin lols) ang mahalaga kasi ay nag-enjoy kami sa pagkuha ng mga shots na to.
ReplyDelete@ kyels - i agree. that is one of my favorite too and is currently the bakground/wallpaper in my pc.
ReplyDelete@ luke wiley - thanks, the beach is indeed lovely.
ReplyDelete@ r-yo - panyero malayong mangyari yon kasi tyak lalangawin exhibit na yun. unless maglalagay ako ng ad na free legal, accounting and tax consultation services to all who will view the exhibit. lols.
ReplyDeletebeautiful!! i miss capones!! i miss san antonio! the first time i visited was 15 years ago pa. last was around 5 years ago. kakamiss talaga. did you go to the lighthouse?
ReplyDeletei think the black sand is either magnetite or chromite sand. zambales is a hotbed for chromite mining.

Wow! I love the beach!! There is a place in Guam where the beaches are black like that, but it's the sand.
ReplyDeleteWow, great shots. I would love to be there day and night. Looks so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteNight shorts are really superb.. Hats of to you.... Nice work my friend....
ReplyDeleteI also want to go there.
ReplyDeleteExcellent.
love the pictures, makes me miss the philippines.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beach photos. Love the one with the footprints. The sky is so blue that goes well with the very blue sea.
ReplyDeleteUy! close pala kayo ni Dong Ho, I also enjoy reading his blog.
ReplyDeleteAng gaganda ng pictures... Para syang Siquijor & Camiguin combined. I would definite love to go sa Capones!
ang ganda ng pictures.... it really inspired me to take more pictures on my travels kahit na cellphone camera lang ang gamit ko. hehehe
ReplyDeleteI love the beach too. I prefer white sand but a black sand is a sight to see also.
ReplyDelete@ andrea - me too. i could just sit there and watch the sun set over the beach.
ReplyDelete@ selerines - thanks buddy.
ReplyDelete@ daniel j santos - thanks. one of the best places to go to.
ReplyDelete@ betchai - you should tour the place when you go back.
ReplyDelete@ alicesg - thanks. amazing colors and hues at night kept me up all night. and the rains too.
ReplyDelete@ kegler747 - first time na meet in person si dong pero matagal na ko fan of his works.
ReplyDeletethe beach is somewaht similar nga sa siquijor. never been to camuguin but will definitely go there someday.
@ swexie - i guess your id is short for sweet and sexy (awww), kahit cam phone ok lang yan basta madocument lang ang trip.
ReplyDeleteedited ba yung mga photos na may pagkashade of blue?
ReplyDeleteo natural color niya yun?
