Mga 1.5 hours from Pundaquit to Iba. 30 minutes later, there's another place where there's a nice island. Sta Cruz, I think. I wouldn't suggest going except in SUMMER though since the waves there can be pretty strong ... in both places, actually.


But the drive after Iba to Sta. Cruz, near the Pangasinan border is really nice ... parang europe.

thanks for the tip pup2... might do just that...

by the way ano ba step-by-step guide to zambales (hidiot guide ikanga)...
taga south ako and di ko kabisado north... what my friends say is I should take nlex - san fernando exit but after that malabo na instructions nila...
would there be a chance that I could take the sctx (like to try their new hiway )...

Take NLEX paglagpas ng Dau Exit, may exit papuntang SCTEX. Siguradong di mo ma mi miss iyon kasi may mga signboard naman.

First time ko pumunta ng Zambales noong June 2. Di naman ako naligaw basta pagpasok sa SCTEX tuloy tuloy ka lang hanggang mapasok mo ang SBMA, pagdating sa unang major intersection sa loob ng subic (Rizal highway), kanan ka na. Pagkakanan, stay on the left lane, at may mga signboard na mag guide sa iyo papuntang Zambales. Be alert lang sir sa mga full stop signs sa intersections at baka matikitan ka.

Paglabas mo ng Subic, yung highway na lulusutan tuloy-tuloy ka lang, diretso na iyon ng IBA. Akala ko nga maliligaw ako pero ang dali palang sundan.

Hope this helps.

Pundaquit is in San Antonio, Zambales

Going there, take the NLEX. Tuloy-tuloy lang until you reach yung last toll gate which is DAU. Shortly, may exit na dun going to SCTEX then drive all the way to Olongapo/Subic.

Tapos labas ka ng TIPO (going towards Subic Bay), use this road para di ka na mapunta sa bayan as there will be traffic.

Then paglabas mo kabilang gate ng Subic, eto na yung mga sequence ng bayan na dadaanan mo...

SAN MARCELINO - CASTILLEJOS - SAN ANTONIO

May road sign naman sa junction ng San Antonio, going left papuntang bayan which is where Pundaquit is. Going right towards the direction of Iba/Santa Cruz.

Should you plan to go to Iba from here, just take this guide:

SAN ANTONIO - SAN NARCISO - SAN FELIPE - CABANGAN - BOTOLAN - IBA

Smooth naman ang road surface with the occassional winding road especially pagpasok ng Botolan.

Enjoy your trip, HTH!
