CAPE BOLINAO LIGHTHOUSE, PATAR BEACH AND PUERTO DEL SOL

        Nestled along the picturesque western coast of Pangasinan province lies Bolinao, home to some of the region's most pristine beaches. Among these coastal gems, Puerto del Sol Beach Resort stands out, boasting exceptional amenities that cater to every traveler's desires. From elegantly appointed rooms to expansive infinity pools overlooking the ocean, every detail is meticulously crafted to ensure a luxurious stay. The sumptuous buffet breakfast serves as a delightful start to each day.

        However, at this time of the year when the tides keep the sea shallow, even at its highest, Puerto del Sol was not the ideal  place to be if one prefers the sea than the pools and the jacuzzis. The waters were so shallow that even kayaking was not possible.  Craving the soothing embrace of the sea, we embarked on a short journey of about five kilometers to reach the lively shores of Patar public beach. Here, vacationers from far and wide congregated to revel in the joy of swimming and other sports activities.

        Along the way we passed by the second highest lighthouse in the country, the Cape Bolinao Lighthouse.

It was not possible in the sea at the Puerto del Sol during this time of the year as the tides were so shallow.
