2nd Stop: Anguib Cove/Beach (Will be featured on John Lloyd and Bea's upcoming movie, According by locals it is Managed by a Private Bank,the Direct Road to the beach was closed to Public during my visit, Since it is a cove like Anawangin,the only way to get there is to hire a boat. There are two resorts there- One with a P500 (Entrance Fee/Meal- Lunch,Snacks,Dinner)(Owned by Private Bank) and other has P25 Entrance fee(Golden Paradise Resort-with Videoke and Lodge. But for me, I negotiated that I will not stay that long and all i want is just to see the place and take pictures only,so I just paid P100 only.
