Nagsasa Cove was where we camped during our Anawangin-Nagsasa -Capones trip 2 weeks ago. Although it takes longer to get here, we preferred the stillness of the place. Since it's around 45 minutes from Anawangin Cove, many people prefer not to take chances and choose the proximity and comfort of Anawangin. we wanted to feel the isolation.
True enough, Nagsasa Cove was able to live to our expectations. I think Anawangin Cove is more photogenic and pleasing to the eyes but I find Nagsasa more majestic and homey.
I was able to wake up the next day early enough to see the sun rise and slowly light the mountains and surrounding area. The following photos show the breaking of dawn in Nagsasa Cove.
The mountains of Nagsasa Cove are somewhat monotonous in color as they are not adorned with trees. With that, I am referring to a particular time of the day. But the grassy surface makes it glow yellowish in the early morning and during sunset and brownish during the day. That makes the mountains of Nagsasa Beautiful. In this case, monotonous means variable.
We were not able to explore other angles aside from that of the beach area as we decided not to climb. As what our companions from Cebu, Doi and Ed said, we might have appreciated the area more if we only did. Even so, Nagsasa Cove is still a thing of beauty. As the sun rises in the east, I saw this striking cloud formation adding drama to the mountains .......

Nagsasa Cove is still the best spot to camp when staying in the area overnight. The expanse of this cove and it's mouth's relative distance to the beach area means calmer water making it perfect for swimming day in or day out. The tall mountains surrounding it gives you a certain reassurance of its reclusive peace. I felt secure when we were here.
One more thing, since only a few dare to go this far, less people would mean less competition in space,water supply and in the queue for the use of the shower room which for me is very important. I will be discussing more about the positive and negative sides of both Anawangin and Nagsasa next time so that you can easily decide which is best for you for an overnight stay. For now, I hope you can feast your eyes on the sheer beauty of this place.......
