A very relaxing sea tourist spot in Luzon, Philippines is Lingayen Gulf in Lingayen, Pangasinan. For a bright sunny morning jog at the beach or a windy afternoon stroll at the shore, Lingayen Gulf has a long South China Sea coastline that stretches 56 kilometers (25 miles) from the coastal provinces of Pangasinan to La Union.

Lingayen beach, one of the beautiful beaches that line up the Lingayen Gulf, is where General Douglas MacArthur landed his invasion fleets in 1945 to drive out Japanese invaders in World War II. Other coastal cities of the Gulf are Dagupan and Alaminos in Pangasinan, and San Fernando in La Union, all full of tourist spots.
