Patar Rock Formation

Also known as the Bolinao Rock Formation

Been dying to go to this place and I can say a must-see. It would be so boring for others yet calming and refreshing for a nature lover's soul. Sunset is so amazing on this side of Patar, the colors it creates give a different glow in the sky- very mesmerizing. I actually enjoyed every bit of it.

The entrance fee is kinda hefty for the amount of Php 75.00 per head, the area is actually private property. If you would take it from a practical point of view it might not be worth it yet for a person like me- I'll go for it. You will not see a view like this in your everyday life anyway. Since the sun started to go down and the place was covered in darkness the owner advised us to come back the next day for free. 

Alas, we left the place with a smile on my face and plans on my head for the pictures I wanted to take. The place is just on the other side of Patar beach, you could actually see these rock formations from a distance in Patar. I saw a different picturesque of the place in midday, the coral rocks give a much beautiful form created by time. It was low tide when we visited the place so a lot of areas were exposed.

Patar Beach

The Lovely Patar Beach


Aside from beautiful falls, beach rock formation, underground cave, lighthouse- Bolinao is also known for its yellowish sun-kissed Patar Beach. Tagged as the Boracay of Pangasinan this beach has a different story to tell.

Its clear, clean wavy waters make me want this beach even more. I love how un-crowded this place is upon our visit however per local residents the shorelines would be piled up with visitors during summer. I also observed how un-touched the area is- not too commercialized like Aurora. I remembered Boracay like this so calm and inviting back in 2000. Local residents kept the area clean, there is NO Entrance Fee in this place. Those Nipa huts lined up near the shorelines are for rent for the amount of Php 150.00 up to Php 350.00 depending on the size.

You could actually view what's beneath below as the sea waters were so clear and clean. For kiddos, they should not be left unattended since Patar waters were so wavy. If you let me choose between Aurora, I'll go for Patar. Sea Urchin is being sold fresh from the sea for only Php 10.00. It's actually so cheap compared here in Manila per piece is like Php 350.00 to Php 400.00.

We came here on foot from German's place so we have nothing to worry about parking. Not really sure if there's a parking fee imposed.

I enjoyed basking under the sun, I can tell that the water is clean since it does not give me an itchy feeling which I normally get from polluted waters. We actually walked back to our place wet and fresh from Patar beach under the heat of the sun without feeling irritated by the salty waters.

German's Place



I loved how the probinsya feels I felt from this place. Walking distance from the beach, rock formation, and the lighthouse this place is for a budget traveler like me. They do not offer any air-conditioned rooms. They do have a campsite near the beach for only Php 500.00 and above. The place is equipped with electricity powered by solar panels located within the area. For the amount of Php 1, 458.06 for four pax this is not bad at all.

We arrived early in Bolinao and informed our host of the possibility of an early check-in. I was able to speak with the owner and she was so warm in welcoming us in her place. She gave us an early check-in for free. I really appreciate the kindness of their staff who assisted us in the resort. She even provides directions to us on how to reach our itinerary in my DIY itinerary list. 

The place has a lot of opportunities for improvement and the owner was indeed very open-minded about our suggestions which we applauded her for. She always wears a smile that makes me and my chum feel very welcome and comfy. Indeed their hospitality is beyond expectation and of course, this is one of the experiences that will keep us coming back to stay.

I include this in my Babalikan List in Bolinao, Pangasinan.

You can book through Airbnb and they also accept walk-ins
