Patar Beach in Bolinao, Pangasinan is another Pangasinan beach worth visiting. It’s actually one of the more popular beaches in Pangasinan, with a good number of resorts in the area. And their numbers are growing. It’s very picturesque with strong blue waves lashing at the cream sand along the shore. We left Anda early in the afternoon to proceed to Bolinao, look for a resort to stay for the night, and enjoy our second beach for the day!   Read More:   ivanhenares.com

Though its sand may not be as pure white and refined as that of Boracay’s, its clear aquamarine waters and unspoiled surroundings are as inviting as any of the top beaches in the country. For travelers who constantly avoid crowded and over-developed beaches, the Patar beach of Bolinao is the best fit.

Patar Beach is surrounded by different hotels, it is not really easy to hunt for a good one because of the long travel, however, Hotelscombined.com can help you search over 30 hotel reservation websites at the same time and locate the one that offers the best deal instantly! But to give you a hint of how to go there, well, Bolinao is a 3-4 hour drive from Dagupan.

But before your get to paradise, you’ll have to encounter first a rough road that is really worth around 30 minutes of your time. The tourism infrastructures are not yet well developed but there are several resorts near the white beach. There is an old lighthouse that stands on a hill near the beach which is the landmark of the place. Going farther from the shoreline are cliffs and picturesque rock-formations. Moreover, the locals are friendly and helpful to the tourists. Certainly an idyllic place for a vacation get-away. Read More:   wayph.com
