One could easily go there through transport by riding buses along EDSA going to Olongapo or Iba.Enjoy the clear deep blue sea waters of one of the many Subic Beach Resorts. There are a lot of exclusive and clean white sand beaches in the areas of Subic, Olongapo. Enjoy the exclusivity and be in one of the most well-known hotel beach resort in the Philippines, the White Rock Beach Resort Hotel in Subic. During broad daylight, why not play some beach ball or just lay during early daylight to get your skin a glowing summer tan? Watch or film the spectacular sunset in some of these well-known beaches. Then, you could either make a bonfire at night in the middle of the clear and fine sands. Or, you could make and build your very own sand castle or bury your friends in the wet sands of these clean beaches. You could take a ride to motor boats and have a fun sailboat tour in the middle of the sea. They could take you to a lonely island in the middle of the ocean only for a few hundred pesos (price of boat rides depends on how many passengers would take the ride).They also have water skiing, water sports, scuba diving and banana boats for tourists and residents alike. If you do not have enough budget to spend for your vacation trip, you could still have some fun without spending too much. Just spend on some bus ride or jeep ride to bring you to barrios or towns of Zambales. You could also visit a few of the barrios’ many free beach resorts where natives and people who live near and make a living around those areas, just normally go there to swim or to just stroll around the place. They offer beach huts, dining tables for very low prices or you could either bring your own sun shields and protectors. One would also enjoy a lot of the native delicacies in Zambales. They have a variety of rice cakes or native suman, singkamas and mangoes which you could buy in baskets and if you are good in negotiating, you could get a lot of mangoes (green or yellow) for very cheap prices. If you are a sweet tooth yourself, try their local pastilles or milk candies which you could buy on many local town stores.
