Patar White Beach is probably the best-known beach destination in Bolinao. However, it still has that untouched vibe that off-the-beaten-path travelers will love. The beach is barely developed, without many huge resorts interfering with the serene landscape. That said, the best activities to look forward to are as simple and precious as camping or renting a nipa hut, grilling barbecue, and spreading yourself out on the fine creamy sand.

Not many beaches have lighthouses, so it really captures your attention when you see one as majestic as Cape Bolinao Lighthouse. This historical beacon, built in 1905, sits atop Punta Piedra Point, watching over the West Philippine Sea. For its tall, dazzling white frame structure, Cape Bolinao is one of the best lighthouses to photograph. It’s also a great spot to appreciate the beauty of Bolinao’s waters.

If you want unique beach scenery, be sure to head over to Rockview Beach Resort and behold mother nature’s art. Start by perusing the rock formations, sculpted by nature herself — meticulously over thousands of years. Next, just lie back and listen to the waves rolling into the shore and hitting the rocks. It’s mother nature’s kind of rock and roll.

 

 

Indulge Yourself at Birdland Beach Club

Given Bolinao’s location on the west coast of Pangasinan, sunset-viewing is one of the best beach experiences you shouldn’t miss. Before the day ends, pick your spot in any of the beach attractions above and just enjoy the show. The sun’s final act as it dips back into the horizon.
