PANGASINAN WHITE SAND BEACHES
With a 286-kilometer coastline connecting 14 towns and cities from San Fabian town to Infanta town, Pangasinan’s white sand beaches are comparable with Boracay.
In Sual, Masamirey Cove at Barangay Baybay Norte is described as the town’s hidden paradise, with its white sand beach and clear waters.
A resort there offers water activities such as snorkeling, jet skiing, kayaking, coast line fishing and a boat tour to the Hundred Islands National Park in neighboring Alaminos City.
In Bani, Olanen Beach in Barangay Dacap Sur is a long white sand beach facing the West Philippine Sea. The town also boasts of Surip Beach where visitors can enjoy scuba diving, snorkeling and recreational fishing.
Bolinao town has Patar Beach, which is known as the “Boracay of the North” because of its cream sand and blue waters ideal for swimming and other water activities.
Pangasinan’s only island town of Anda has Tondol Beach in Barangay Tondol at the northern tip. The beach is famous for its long fine white sand. Resorts and accommodation facilities are available in the area.
Farther west, Burgos town’s short rocky shoreline has a patch of white sand beach stretching on the shores of Barangay Ilio- ilio. The beach is often visited so resorts and accommodation facilities are readily available.
Aside from its white beach, another tourist draw in Burgos is its depth pool, a natural tidal pool in the rocky coast north of Ilio-ilio.
In Dasol town, the white sand beach straddles the villages of Tambobong and Osmeña, 18 km from the main highway. Aside from swimming in Dasol’s calm waters, visitors can take a boat ride to Colibra Island, or Crocodile Island or simply watch the sunset.
