Stoked in Liw Liwa Zambales
The
last beach that we visited before 2013 ends is Sitio Liw Liwa in San
Felipe Zambales. A not so famous surfing/skimboarding spot for now. But this place I would say is much better than La Union.Why?
Cheap accommodation, less crowded and it’s much nearer than La
Union. They offer same water sports anyway so why bother travelling
for 7 hours just to surf if you can take it for just 3 to 4 hours
right?
What to do in Liw Liwa
There’s
a lot of things to do in Liw Liwa. From surfing to skimboarding on
flats or waves, frisbee or do whatever makes you happy. The
beach is all yours for it’s damn empty and wide. You can even get
naked if you want to. Naahhh just kidding. I’d say this beach is a
good place to bum around, to relax ourselves from the stress that
we’re getting from our work, bosses or even from our nagging
or annoying parents. hahaha Peace ma. Grab a couple bottles of
beer, move your ass to the beach and lie down on the sand. Then,
get drunk! Don’t make your life so complicated once you’re on the
beach. You went there to relax right?!
Now,
don’t worry if you don’t know how to surf or skim. Locals are
there to help or teach you. Surfing lessons cost P400 for one hour
and that includes the board rental. If you’re confident that you
are good enough, then you can rent a board for P200 for another
hour. For skimboarding lesson, that I don’t know. Forgot to ask
since I have my own board. Just go to Kila Bot Sir Ping Spot and ask
for prices. It’s better to get instructor from them coz those guys
know how to rip the waves.
Where to stay in Liw Liwa
At
Circle Hostel, you can either sleep on Bunk Beds for P350/night, on a
Hammock with built in mosquito net for P250/night or you can
pitch a tent for P250/head/night. This place may seem cool but
if your are talking about privacy, not a good place to stay.
You’ll definitely hear someone snores at night.
Everything
should have been all good at Circle Hostel except with one problem.
When we woke up the next day, the caretaker didn’t even bother to
ask us if we want something for breakfast. Breakfast is included so
it should be ready by then. And she wasn’t even nice that morning.
Damn! I wish we stayed at Kila
Bot Sir Ping Spot where
they offer a room for P800/night/room which is good for 4-6
people or pitch your tent for P80/night/head.Cheap right? Yah, you
better stay there and have your own breakfast the next day. Circle
only served 6 breads, 1 pack of stuffing and 3 banana for the 3 of us
anyway.
Where to eat in Liw Liwa
Food
and liquors are available in Sitio Liw Liwa so you don’t need
to buy that in town. One is in front of Circle Hostel and the other
one is in front of Sir Ping Spot. I didn’t get the names of the
store. You can choose from variety of food such as Tapsilog,
Spamsilog and whatever itlog (egg) you like. Hahahaha A bottle of beer cost
P26.00. Pretty sure you’ll get drunk with this kind of prices. I
did. Hahaha
So
what are you waiting for? Get your lazy ass movin’ and head on to
Liw Liwa Zambales while it’s not yet crowded. Watch this lovely
dogs, bum on the beach read a book (wee??), surf or skim and make
sure you don’t get a broken bone once you get home. Or walk around
the beach and do some photography. There’s a lot of good subject to
shoot on to.
My
overall experience in Liw Liwa Zambales?
It
was solid! Great sunset, less expensive and a beach that is almost
for us only. Perfect! A great way to end 2013 and a perfect weekend
getaway for everyone.
If you want to go to Liw Liwa , here's a quick guide! Peace out ya'll! haha
