After hopping Capones Island, we headed towards Camara Island.

| Camara Island by: Hope Olano |
Camara Island is a small and the closest island from the shores of Barangay Pundaquit and Barangay San Miguel in San Antonio, Zambales Jump Off Points. It's a boat ride away from Pundaquit or San Miguel and the famous Anawangin Cove. It's best described as a big lump of rock with white sands and fewer trees. The rock formations, the view of the open seas and scenic spots are very great for photo shootings . White sand becomes visible when low tides and vanishes when high tides.

Where To Stay
People can't possibly stay overnight or have a camping at Camara due to the unpredictable occurrencies as what I've cited in the precautions below. It's more likely & safer to stay at Anawangin Cove. But for those who prefer to stay in a private accomodation, I'm suggesting Kuya Jimz Beach Resort, situated in Pundaquit & in the nearby area of San Miguel. It's clean and near to the island attractions, a perfect inn for travelers.
Getting There
From Manila Via Victory Liner Air-conditioned Bus
- Cubao Terminal - Olongapo Terminal Php208.00
- Olongapo Terminal - San Antonio, Zambales (via Sta. Cruz or Iba Bus) Ordinary Php44.00 / AC Php60.00
- Reaching San Antonio: Tricyle - Brgy. Pundaquit/Brgy. San Miguel Php30.00/Head
- Brgy. Pundaquit or Brgy. San Miguel (Jump Off Points) - Camara Island (via Motor Boat) Php700.00 Round Trip - Maximum of 4
- Unlike Capones Island & Anawangin Cove, Camara is not suitable for camping trips because this area is very humid. There are no shade of trees that'll protect people from the heat of the sun.
- And/Or an overnight stay because this is just a small island. The water may rise beyond what people expect. It will be too dangerous. Just a daytime sightseeing tour I suggest.
