Patar Beach, Bolinao Pangasinan, Philippines

AUGUST, 2011

Actually this was a class trip. I learned that our Professor in photography always takes his class to this place.

Our budget for this trip was around 2,000 - 2,500 plus 500 (food for 3 days), you can bring extra cash if you can't cook for yourself. Nag bus and tricycle kami. We rented a house and wala pong entrance fee noon ang beach.

Things to bring:
- Clothes for 3 days. Sweater kasi sobrang malamig pag gabi.
- Cash. Malalayo pa ang ATM machine nila and i think they still do not accept credit cards.
- Toiletries including sunblock

This is where the bus stop. 

FIRST DAY

Our class was really happy nang malaman namin na sa tabing dagat pala yung house na nirentahan namin. Wala kaming inaksayang oras, pag dating nag explore na kami agad habang low tide pa lang. 

Sobrang layo ng narating namin, halos kitang kita na nmin ung buong place kung saan kami nag sstay.

SECOND DAY

Next place na pinuntahan namin ay ang Light House. I forgot to take pictures of the whole place, kasi may building pa sya sa likod. From there, you can see the whole beach. Ang ganda! 

Patar Beach. Kilala din ito bilang White Sand Bolinao. Mayroon din ilog na malinis, nipa huts lang ang pagitan neto sa beach. Sa gilid ng ilog ay ang mga puno. 

There is also a cave near sa rented house namin but we were not allowed to enter kasi walang proper tour guide. 

Third day, inenjoy na lang namin ang dagat at nag frisbee. Sobrang linis at linaw ng tubig! 

Kung hindi naman kayo marami like our class, you can bring a tent. Nag rent talaga kami kasi ang dami namin at ang plano ay magluto na lng para mas tipid. Nag rent din kami ng videoke, dahil pag gabi hindi na kmi makakaligo sa sobrang dilim ng dagat.

PS. Wag na nating tawaran ang mga nagtitinda dito hehe ito na lamang kasi ang hanapbuhay na meron sila. Mura lang naman halos lahat at makikita mo na simple lang ang pamumuhay na meron sila dito. hehe 

Thank you BFA-B and Sir. Oblena
