San Miguel Public Beach, located in San Antonio, Zambales, is a serene and less crowded beach compared to other spots in the area. It is part of the long stretch of Zambales shoreline facing the South China Sea, known for its clean waters and quiet ambiance. The beach is nearby the bustling town of San Antonio and serves as a jump-off point for exploring nearby islands and coves like Anawangin and Capones. The Pusit Festival, celebrated in April, adds to its cultural charm. Visitors can enjoy a tranquil environment with opportunities for swimming, beach activities, and watching the sunset.
The beach offers a peaceful retreat for those seeking solitude and a more laid-back experience compared to the popular coves. It also features the fish port or 'bulungan' area where locals auction their catch, providing a glimpse into the fishing culture.
While it may not be as developed as some other tourist destinations, San Miguel Beach provides a genuine local experience and a chance to connect with nature away from crowds.
