Mt. Nagsasa and Nagsasa Cove
Book Now!Overview
Mt. Nagsasa also known as Mt. Bira-Bira as the locals call it, delivers the most scenic views the province of Zambales has to offer. As part of the Zambales Coastal Mountains and Coves (ZCMC), Mt. Nagsasa is part of a mountain range that includes taller mountains like Mt. Balingkilat and Mt. Cinco Picos. Hikers can expect to see beautiful wide-open trails, grassy slopes, and picturesque coves.Compared to its taller neighbors, Mt. Nagsasa is more forgiving in terms of difficulty, steepness, and trail length; but it still offers enough challenge for beginners and a fulfilling experience for intermediate and advanced hikers. The reward when you reach the climb the summit is immense, as you get the chance to catch the sunrise on the top of the mountain. Mt. Nagsasa also delivers a 360-degree view of the surrounding mountain range of Zambales, and ultimately, your next destination: the beautiful Nagsasa Cove.
At the cove, you can unwind and enjoy the pristine beach after the long walk. Swimming at the beach is highly recommended, since there's no better way to reward one's tired body than a relaxing dip at the sea. Another highlight to end the day is the boat ride going back to Pundaquit, where everyone can enjoy the views of the other coves and mountains of Zambales along the way. This is the ultimate sea-to-summit experience that you cannot miss!
