Land Attractions in Bolinao

WESTERN PANGASINAN SERIES

I never thought this lighthouse could fascinate me. I have seen countless pictures of it before and nothing impressed me. I thought its just a dilapidated lighthouse build long time ago. But it is enchanting in real life. Situated in the hills of Patar, this lighthouse is more than 100 years old. It's no longer possible to climb up the deck but it didn't stop us to enjoy taking photos of the edifice and the surrounding area.

EXPLORE BOLINAO- Patar Lighthouse

There is a building near it destroyed by countless storms, the last just a few months ago. Instead of serving as an eyesore, it complimented the lighthouse. This is the spot where Cai, darwin and most of us posed and pretended to be fashion models. hahaha

This a century old lighthouse but it still looks new. I thought they had a good job maintaining it. Taken into account that this part of Pangasinan is often on the path of strong typhoons. The devastated building beside it which serves as a quarters for its caretakers is proof of this.

I realized just now that I got only a few angles so I am including some shots taken by other bloggers during the tour. Here's Josh Uy's take on the place. Wih his favorite subject--Cai.

The lighthouse is located in barangay Patar Bolinao Pangasinan.
It's around 5 kilometers away from Puerto del Sol, our accommodation during our stay in the town. It comes before the rock formations I featured in my earlier post, after which is the white beach area.
