Capones Lighthouse: A Century-Old Sentinel Above the West Philippine Sea
The approach always begins at Pundaquit Beach in San Antonio, Zambales. A small boat cuts across the waters of the West Philippine Sea, and slowly the rugged outline of Capones Island sharpens into view. The cliffs appear dramatic even from a distance, but what captures attention immediately is that white vertical line standing firm against rock and sky — Capones Lighthouse, officially known as Faro de Punta Capones.
