Pangasinan Attractions: Burgos Pangasinan

The pristine beach of Cabongaoan located in the municipality of Burgos, Pangasinan. 

While not as popular as its neighbors, Dasol, Bolinao, and Alaminos it has caught the attention of the tourism community owing to its natural wonders, its white-sand beaches, and waterfalls.

The waters of Cabongaoan Beach are very clear and as the photos show, very blue in various shades and hues. Depending on the time of the day, it may be tranquil, making it ideal for swimming and snorkeling or the winds may pick up and may become wavy and add to the fun.

The powdery sand is one of the features of the beach because its color is comparable to other famous beaches in the country.

A few minutes from Cabongaoan Beach, also known as Cabo, is the popular Death Pool. For those who are brave enough, one can go in and enjoy the deep fluctuations of the water caused by the surging of the waves pushing and pulling the water from this small hole near the edge of the rocky part of the beach.

There aren't many full-service accommodations in the area. Instead, it has become a popular place for campers to come pitch their tents and experience the rustic life for a day or two.

This is the perfect time for a barbecue by the beach and even set out a long table for a boodle fight.

Pangasinan Attractions: Hundred Islands National Park

For a province that has so much to offer, from breathtaking beaches, crave-worthy food, and historical significance, it is difficult to imagine Pangasinan without its famous Hundred Islands National Park. 

Famous in the ’70s and 80’s, destroyed by dynamite fishing and went through a slump in the ’90s and re-emerged with a major facelift and aggressive transformation in the 2000s, The Hundred Islands National Park has seen tourists coming back in droves, not just from the country but from many parts of the world.

Gone are the lousy straw huts, dirty island bathrooms and disorganized boat assignments. These have been replaced by world-class, concrete cabanas, a massively organized tourism administration, a beautiful boardwalk and tons of exciting modern activities that make it the jewel of all Pangasinan travel destinations.
