Liwliwa
Day Trip
San Felipe, Zambales
April 9, 2019
Off to a spontaneous trip with my cousin
for this day!
We were badly missing the beach so we
decided to go on a DIY trip to Zambales.
Our specific destination was at Liwliwa Beach, San Felipe, Zambales and our accommodation would be at The Circle Hostel, Zambales Branch. They
do have other branches in Baler, Aurora and San Juan, La Union.
I have a friend who works at The Circle Hostel
in Liwliwa (but as of this posting, she already resigned and just continued her
life being a hostel guest and a forever beach bum. Hi, Abby! Miss you!).
2 am of Saturday, we were already at the
Pasay Victory Liner. Their first trip to Zambales is at 2:30
a.m. Travel time
from Manila to Liwliwa Beach, San Felipe, Zambales is approximately 5 hours.
We chose to be dropped off at Olongapo so
we could have our breakfast at Jollibee first. Fare is Php 273.00
We reached Olongapo at 6 am, ate our
breakfast then rode a bus again going to San Felipe. Bus Fare is Php. 72.00
Upon reaching the town of San Felipe, we
rode a tricycle going to Circle Hostel. Fare is Php 30.00 per head.
It was past 9 AM when we reached The Circle Hostel.
Circle Hostel is just a three-minute walk
to Liwliwa Beach.
We seized the day!
From morning till sunset, we loved and
enjoyed the hostel and of course the beach!
Liwliwa has a grayish sand beach and for
some time, the waves are high which is good for surfing.
There are nearby budget-friendly restaurants
with yummy food that we also enjoyed.
By 12 midnight, we were already back at
home.
This day trip is definitely one of the best treasured moments of my nomadic life!
