The Hunt For White Sand
Our Top 5 Picks

We love Lingayen beach with its history and its videoke stalls. Bonuan beach is slowly making its way back to both recovery and respectability.

But in the end, our criteria boils down to three; 1) People factor, 2) Exclusivity, and 3) Sand Quality.It should primarily be a bit deserted, because its main appeal lies in being unspoilt, untouched. Second, it should be far enough to drastically affect the first criteria, but not far enough to warrant that one pays in dollars, climb up mountains or pay expensive air-fare to get there. And lastly, sand should be white and this is no way related to having some sort of colonial-mentality. Tanned legs simply look better against white.

Beyond comparison, Pangasinan’s beaches rank in there among the best the Philippines can offer. Here’s our Top 5 list (in no particular order)

Beyond comparison, Pangasinan’s beaches rank in there among the best the Philippines can offer. Here’s our Top 5 list (in no particular order)

A. Colibra Island, Dasol; for hardened sun-lovers, the island’s beach has no shade. Excellent shoreline, good for snorkeling and diving.

B. Tambobong Beach, Dasol; an entire fishing village at your feet, very clear water. Good for sailing.

C. Abrak Beach, Bolinao; has resorts for those who don't feel like roughing it. Has cheaper huts for rent.

D. Arnedo, Beach, Bolinao; has seen the sprouting of very good resorts charging reasonable rates. Good for wind sports.

E. Tondol, Beach, Anda; long stretch of calm, shallow water. Has attractive sand-bars art low tide. Also for the hard-core tanning freak.

 

 

 

 

Our Favorite Islands

Tourism is healthy in the Hundred Islands as tourists bring not just revenue, but a new awareness of combining both pleasure and ecological responsibility.
The islands of our childhood remain still, our favorite, even as we bring along a newer generation who shall see a still spectacular view. Nature bounces back and the Hundred Islands has made its own in more ways than one.

There’s Children’s Island, an oasis of civilized comforts like bathrooms and sleeping areas. Governor’s still has a resthouse fit for, well, a governor. Quezon is still pleasurably crowded. Lesser known islands are discovered, their pleasures exclusively enjoyed; there’s Cathedral for spelunkers, snorkeling at Clave and for hedonists, skinny dipping and sunbathing on Carias’ long white beach.

 

Island of Snakes &
White beaches

The islands are basically uninhabited, and in this instance, nature asks you to be considerate. Campers should make sure that garbage is probably disposed; in this case, bring along a water-proof garbage bag.
Bolinao, they say, has it all and it does; caves, waterfalls, white beaches, ancient artifacts, lobster and even noni trees. But its other western neighbors are slowly getting the attention they deserve.

If Mabini has its fabulous caves, Dasol and Infanta have their islands. Colibra or SnakeIsland in Dasol lives up to its name with its thousand of slithering sea snake population.

Raton Island in Infantal is a camper’s paradise; both islands have pristine white beaches.

Waterfalls & Lighthouses and other places
worth Seeing

More of Bolinao

Indeed, Bolinao overflows with nature’s gifts. Take a dip at Tara falls or hire a boat for a day for a grand tour of Northern Luzon’s cleanest river, the Balingasay.

 

The Lighthouses of Bolinao

The town is famous for its two lighthouses:1) The Cape Bolinao Lighthouse in Barangay Patar is the tallest in the country second to the Cape Bojeador Lighthouse in Ilocos Norte. There is also the Port Bolinao Lighthouse in Guigui-wanen in Barangay Luciente I; both structures serve as crucial warning beacons to ships against storms and treacherous reefs.

The Cape Bolinao Lighthouse at Patar rises majestically 351 feet above sea level atop Punta Piedra Point, a towering hill of solid rock which is the sharp point of Cape Bolinao itself.

The lighthouse provides a panoramic view of a portion of the 1,269 hectare Cape Bolinao Dendro Thermal Ipil-Ipil Plantation
on a land area where archaeological excavations have revealed relics from the 14th to the 15th centuries.
Filipino, British and American engineers constructed the lighthouse in 1905.
