Look Left Beach Resort at Pundaquit, Zambales: Relax, Learn Skimboarding, and Meet New People

Most of the time, when I go on a beach trip, here are some of the things I look for in the resort that I’ll stay in:

  • Proximity to the sea – it has to be close to the sea so it will be easy to go back and forth when we want to go for a swim
  • Friendly staff – nothing beats friendly people who make it a point to make your stay as awesome as it can be
  • Many communal areas – I don’t stay in the room a lot and love to hang out outside so this is a plus point for me
  • Chill vibe – this is subjective, but for me, a chill vibe means there are plenty of spaces to move around, there are no fussy decorations at the resort, and people are all just there to enjoy
Gladly, I found all of these at Look Left Beach Resort, where my officemates and I stayed for a quick getaway a few weeks ago.

I was really curious why the resort was named Look Left, so I asked one of the owners, Jay, about it. He said it’s because the part of the beach at Pundaquit where Look Left is located is called by the locals as the “Magic Left,” the end of the sea shore where most boats take off to other nearby islands in Zambales.
What I first noticed before entering the resort was the breathtaking view. It appealed to me that there weren’t a lot of tourists around since I go to the beach to unwind.
Who wouldn’t want to wake up and walk out of Look Left Beach Resort to see this view?

Here are some activities you can do while staying at Look Left Beach Resort:

5) Go skimboarding with the resident AlonPinas instructors

You will learn from the best when you skimboard with the AlonPinas members. Jay is also a member of this organization.

Watching the pros do it made me think, “Wow, I never knew you could do this near the seashore!”

They were asking me to try it out, but I said I would just watch them have all the fun. My officemates gave it a shot, though.

They definitely had fun since they were raving at the van going back to Manila that they want to go back to Look Left and skimboard again! I said I’ll go back with them and be their photographer.
