This is actually our first time traveling to a province other than Baguio City. It is also our first time going to the beach🏖 as a family👪and planning our trip without a tour guide. And it is our first time in an unknown place to us with no one to accompany us but only us 3. At first, it was a bit scary, especially we have with us our 3yr old son then Erky. But we want to take the chance.

| Golden Beach in Patar Bolinao |
Now we will share our experience and photos in the famous Golden Beach in Patar Bolinao Pangasinan. As mentioned on my previous blog we've commuted🚌from Manila going here. While touring we hire the tricycle driver who has brought us to Bing's Beach Resort the night we arrived in Bolinao. Let me just share that the people here are so accommodating and very kind. The fear we had while traveling going to the resort since it's super late at night then was changed the moment we arrived at the resort when we have already had a talk with the people there as well as our driver.
Going back to the Golden Beach, after Cape Bolinao we head directly to the public beach which is the Golden Beach in Patar. The moment we saw the sand from the tricycle where we are, we were already amazed! Then Manong driver brought us nearer to the shore. And that is when our hearts almost fell with the scenery. Our first time falling in love with the ocean. What we first thought when we saw it was "God was really good.". For he made an excellent place on earth like this. This may not be the most beautiful beach in the universe but this is a piece of heaven on earth.
We were owed, amazed, shocked and at the same time thankful that we get to see and experience this place. This is the best public beach for us. You can swim and roam in the place for free. But if you need a shady place to take a rest you can rent a cottage for a minimal price of 150 or rent a cottage type room with air condition for 2500/night. Way back in 2012, there's still no resorts or hotels near the public beach.
Since we're having a tour with our Manong driver we just took pictures, stay for a while in a Bangca near the shore. We really want to experience the beach and have a dip but the problem is the waves when we arrived there was a bit high and since we have a 3yr old kid with us we prefer not to swim for safety. We just have our feet experience the waves and the sand. But it was a great feeling really even if we weren't able to swim. The view was amazing!
Let me also share that before Patar Beach was still not that crowded. In 2012, it is still one of those beaches not normally explored by beachgoers. Only a few have discovered it way back then.
The shore was clean.

Not crowded.
The waters are clear and you won't see any floating garbage's.
No one is littering.
And the place was a real beauty.
Here are more pictures on our Patar Golden Beach tour in 2012.
Looking back now, we are so much thankful and feel really blessed that we were able to experience the beauty of this once undiscovered place.
I will soon blog more of our Patar Beach visit.

ReplyDeleteThe beach sounds wonderful. The sand is literally golden and the sea crystal clear. I'm glad no one was littering there on the previous visit.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a public beach that clean! Usually public beaches are full of people and littered in some places. You found a really nice place for your family to enjoy!
ReplyDeletewow!!! lovely beach photos. Make me think about my next vacation. Great pictures. Would love to visit this place
ReplyDeleteThe beach is always a great idea. As a matter of fact, I was just in Catanduanes two weeks ago, trying to force SUMMER during the rainy season and I was lucky enough to have experienced one scorching hot day where I was able to lie on the sand to soak up the sun.
ReplyDeleteAn awesome family vacation you went for: exploring the beach together is always awesome! Those beaches are so clean anyone would enjoy walking on the clean sand.
ReplyDeleteFinding a quiet beach is always a great treat lovely photos
