Potipot Island: Paradise Found


A lot of people have been talking about Potipot Island recently.

Potipot Island? Where the hell is that?

According to sources, Potipot Island is situated 1 km. north of Uacon, Candelaria, Zambales. A small island with pristine waters and white beach, Potipot Island is gaining attention as the next paradise destination. With no electrical source, no  running water, its magnificent and laid-back beauty makes up for what the usual necessities are lacking. There are not physical structures like huts there to spend the night, so most of those who wants to spend the evening would bring in their tents or go back to the mainland to spend the night at the nearby resorts.

I haven't been to this place before, and I am looking forward for an opportunity to get there. to get there, one has to take the provincial bus going to Sta. Cruz, Zambales and drop off at Dawal in Uacon, Candelaria. It can be reached by driving as well, exiting at San Fernando and drive towards Olongapo City. Unless you are a skilled driver and know your way around, I prefer taking the bus. Victory Liner will be the best bus accommodation for this trip.

Small it may seems, but Potipot may be the next best thing to Boracay. I hope I will have the opportunity to visit this place soon!
