| Patar Beach in Bolinao is just one of the many tourist spots in Pangasinan. |
If you want to see the most wonderful and awesome beach in
Bolinao, go to the public beach located at the tip of Bgy. Patar, and not at
Puerto Del Sol or Punta Riviera Resort. The transient room that we rented for a
night is only meters adjacent to the two resorts, and believe me, the sand
there is not as fine as that one in Patar. The two resorts are located at Bgy. Ilog-Malino, and not in Patar. Unless you are looking for a pool or
kayaking in a river, then you can choose either of the two (P500 for pool +
kayak in Punta Riviera
for one day inclusive of cottage).
Part 7 of The Pangasinan Escapade
After we paid P700 for the stay, we hired our driver for a whole day tour in Bolinao for P1,000 (including our fare from the terminal to the transient room). We directly headed to the public beach in Patar. We travelled for 15 minutes and when we saw Patar Beach I almost forgot I was still in Pangasinan!

| Patar Beach indeed is one of a kind! |
To tag Patar
Beach as a white sand
beach is a total misnomer. The beach in Patar doesn’t have white sand
shoreline. But if you are looking for a GOLDEN
BEACH, then Patar Beach
is the right place for you because the sand there is stunningly creamy gold in
color. It’s as if you are walking in fine sands of gold! Patar Beach
will remind you of a very beautiful beach scene included in the Angry Birds Rio
game. Other than that, Patar
Beach is a one of a kind
beach that will truly give you a superb beach experience. Plus! The beach is
truly a paradise—it is not as crowded as those famous beaches found in Central Philippines.

| Model!! Haha |
Do not attempt to go far from the shoreline because the sea
waves are engulfing and the water is deep. The water at the beach has a great
color variation from splendid aqua color to cool blue water. Plus include the
bright azure sky and you get a perfect seashore getaway! I promise you will not
regret going to Patar
Beach in Bolinao.

One of the greatest parts of our experience is that the ideal
beach has no entrance fee whatsoever. Yes, it is totally free. As the saying
goes, “The best things in life are free.” Literally! Go to Boracay and spend
thousand bucks or go to Patar and spend a fraction of what you will spend in
Boracay (rent of cottage is P150). Of course, Boracay has edge over Patar since
it is the most popular beach in the country and it offers different activities
that Patar Beach doesn’t offer.

| Waves are big though in Patar Beach |
There is also a small lagoon of aqua color water. It is so
enticing to swim there because it is not that deep (it’s less than 5 feet I
guess).
When we went to Patar
Beach, it was not yet
developed. So do not expect three-star hotels beside. It is a barrio beach,
with not so many tourists (well I just don’t know what will happen after a few
years). You can also stay overnight in a kubo for P700 (try to get a bigger
discount). Surely, you will enjoy staying in Patar Beach.

DeleteHi! We are planning to go to Patar this April. :)
ReplyDeleteYung ni-rent nyong transient room is not in Patar mismo? Meron din bang murang transient rooms na malapit (walking distance) sa public beach ng Patar?
Maraming salamat! :)

ReplyDeletePatar Beach is located at the very tip of Bolinao down south...a typical barrio beach. There are only cottages around (though my sister said they already built aircon kubos in the beach). Walang malapit na transient room. Pero yung Treasures of Bolinao malapit pero it's a resort, meaning you'll have to pay for the pool/entrance.
Yung ni rent namin is in Bgy. Ilog-Malino, far from Patar. Kasi nandon karamihan ng Bolinao resorts... :)
Yung mga kubo around the beach can be rented for overnight na rin? At may banyo na rin ba yung mga yun?
DeleteBTW, your map is very helpful in planning our itinerary. :)
Ya. You can rent it overnight. Negotiate ka na lang. P700 kasi yung last time na nagpunta yung mga friends ko. Pero ewan ko lang kung magkano pag peak season.
DeleteYung banyo, public. Medyo maalat yung tubig, pero kung tight budget kayo ok na din yun. Saka dun ka lang din talaga puwedeng magbanlaw ng sarili mo.
It's good if you will rent a kubo there because you might as well witness the beautiful golden sunset in a golden beach. :)
Thanks for appreciating my posts. I admit myself to present all the maps from my trips. You can also get updates via Facebook, just like my page. Thanks again, hope I answered great! :)
Deletehello wer going to treasures of bolinao this weekend ask ko lang.. if mag take kmi ng bus going to alaminos and dumating kmi ng 5am may bus nb ng ganun oras going to bolinao... kc ang victory liner 9pm ang last trip nila eh 3am kmi dating nun tagal pa nmin mag antay..
ReplyDeleteHello,
DeleteI am not sure if there are available buses and jeeps already at that time (5AM). Pero may mga mini bus at jeep going to Bolinao from Alaminos. You can try inquiring about that when you were already in Alaminos. Siguro naman meron na kasi 5AM na rin eh.
City naman ang Alaminos, kaya more likely larga na yan @ 5AM. Yung Bolinao ang simple town.
God bless your trip! :)

ReplyDeleteThis post made me miss Bolinao big time....Dami ko memories dito.
ReplyDeleteHi. is the transient house you stayed in a walking distance from Patar Beach? Can I have the contact details? thanks tin_21_ram@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteHello Christine Jane. The transient house that we rented was far from Patar Beach. It is about 15-20 minutes trike ride. It is located in Bgy. Ilog-Malino, walking distance from Puerto del Sol and Punta Riviera resorts.
DeleteI'll be emailing the number just in case. But I am not sure if it is still working because it was way last year when we went there. :)
hi ask ko naman, how many hours pa going to Patar from Puerto del Sol? thanks
ReplyDeleteHello, around 15-20 minutes lang po (or less depende sa bilis ng sasakyan) ang Puerto del Sol sa public Patar Beach. By trike po yun. :)
DeleteI've been to bolinao and what i love about their beaches is that its not crowded.its near the enchanted cave pa.
ReplyDeleteYes it's true. Hopefully it will not be as crowded as Boracay in the coming few years. :)
DeletePwede bang magbonfire dyan sa Patar? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know, bawal magbonfire sa Patar Beach, kasi magcacause daw ng discoloration sa sands. Hindi kami pinayagan dati magsunog dun. :) Better yet prepare na lang kayo ng food nyo, wag na kayo magbonfire. ^^
Deletewalang bang mga cottages na pwedeng mag barbeque sa patar beach plan pa
ReplyDeletenman namin this week end punta sa bolinao...
Not sure. Try to ask the cottage owners when you go there. Pero the transient room we rented, the owner has a grill. Pero kung sa Patar Beach mismo, di ko sure. :)
DeleteGanda ng beach en photos! will add this in my LIST. thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteYep. Patar Beach definitely is beautiful!
Deletegud eve .. me contact number/s po ung sa patar beach ? ung public lng po ah . we are planning to go there on holy week .. peak season ksi so we want to have an early reservations for the cottage/s. hope you could answer me . tahnk's . God Bless.
ReplyDeleteI don't have contact number sa public. Pero heto yung contact na transient sa Ilog Malino: 09193684584
DeleteTapos just last November 2012, bumalik kami ng Bolinao, eto naman sa Holy Land Resort: 09216782417
Though may mga nagbago na nga sa public beach. May maga nakita na kami na aircon rooms. Tapos yung mini lagoon hindi na puwedeng liguan.
Hi, we're planning to stay in Villa Carolina Resort, so hindi pa po pla dun yung Patar? Pwede po bang mag-pitch ng tent sa Patar beach? meron po ba kuryente, cellphone signal, toilets, and fresh water?
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with Villa Carolina, pero as far as I know, Yung Treasures of Bolinao lang ang nasa Patar.
DeletePwede magpitch ng tent sa Patar kung nagtitipid kasi meron namang mga CR dun, but the water is salty.
Fresh water is sold. But very expensive. E.g. ice is sold @ P4 each. Last time na nagpunta kami sa pagkakaalala ko, walang signal ang Globe. =)
Hello im planning to go to patar beach dis april katapusan,meron kayang resort near there, aside from treasure of bolinao? Ung mas affordable..?tnx
ReplyDeleteI am not familiar if there is any new resort around the area. Pero sa pagkakaalala ko, ToB lang talaga. Yung mga affordable resorts na kasi is somehow 15 minutes away na sa beach...
DeleteSuper mahal kasi sa tob 4k ang 1 room for 2 pax lng.., any suggestions?beaches?hotels na affordable?thankyou
DeleteIf you are really on a super tight budget, you can contact yung driver na may kakilala ng transient houses beside Puerto del Sol.
DeleteHolyland Resort is also a good choice. P50 lang yung swimming pool nila tapos P1500 yung room (non-aircon) may 2 beds saka 1 CR. Nagkasya naman kaming 7 dati pero kaso siksikan. Pero nice ang view kasi overlooking ang sunset at beachfront din.
Para sa contact numbers, back read ka ng replies ko on previous comments...sa taas. =)
hello joven. you said holy land is a good choice also. do you mean good choice aside from TOB ? i have kids kasi kaya i want po sana to stay at patar beach mismo but TOB is way beyond my budget and kubo naman is out of my options since i have kids. thanmks and will wait for your update. thanks
ReplyDeleteKasi ang advantage lang naman ng TOB was that it was just beside the public beach. Sa public beach, usually mga kubo na. Pag resorts, mga 15 minutes away na siya.
DeleteKagagawa lang kasi ng Holyland and okay naman sya, mahal lang ang food inside. Nice view din kaso hindi pwede magswimming sa beach, madami sea grass. Sa pool lang talaga. =)
kuya magkanu po magagastos ng bawat isa ..may balak po kasi kmi pumunta with friends
ReplyDeleteHello Soren, I have written and posted a dedicated article that tackles our expenses during our trip to Bolinao. Kindly check links below the article.
DeleteI will also be posting an updated expenses again this summer. =)
Gud day bloggers.our family is planning to have a vacation here this 15th of may. A friend recommends bings beach resort. Do you have any idea how near it is to where you have taken this photos? Sa harapan lang b ng treasures of bolinao resort to? Tnx in advance for the response.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, we still haven't tried Bings Resorts in Bolinao so I cannot give any response on this. =( Sorry.
Deletepero po ung cnsabi nio na public beach e dun lang po b sa harap ng TOB?tnx po ulit
DeleteAdjacent po sa public beach ang ToB..
DeleteHi, saw your pictures and was really amazed! Ganda ng beach!
ReplyDeleteSa mga nagtitipid po ba like me, instead of renting transient house, okay lang naman po mag pitch ng tent nalang?
Thanks!
Yep pwede din. =D
ReplyDeletemagkano po ung entrance fee at cottage sa golden beach ??
ReplyDeleteat required po bang mag pay ng 7k+ para sa room ?
thankyou po
I don't understand your question, Joanna. The beach has no entrance fee whatsoever. The 7k+ you are talking about was the rental fee of our room in a particular resort in Bolinao. Of course, it varies from other resorts in the town.
Delete~ask ko lan po,. hanggang ngaun po ba wala pa ring entrance fee jaan sa patar beach?st saka yun na po ba talaga ang name nun beach?balak po kase naming pumunta jan ngayong november e. baka lan po kami ay maligaw. so pwede din po jang magovernyt?meaning yung 700 pesos pagpalagay nating tumaas na ngayun yun na po yung cottage na pwedeng magstay?
ReplyDeleteme grill din po kaya jan?pasensya na po madaming tanong,. malayo po kase kami sa pangasinan
Abrak beach and Patar beach are the same? We're planning to go there this coming holly week, super crowded kaya dun kapag holly week n? my mga kubos ba dun na pwedeng irent day use only? mga magknu kaya? along the way madadaanan kaya ang bolinao falls and enchanted cave? thank you.
ReplyDeleteHey mr.pogi! I saw all ur pics.. and its sooo damn amazing! Im from pangasinan din pero lumaki na q dto pampanga.. balak namin punta jn sa patar.. so, ask ko lang ano pinaka landmark jan na malapit sa patar? And pag magrent ako ng kubo still 700 pa kaya? Or maybe hindi na...
ReplyDeleteAnyway. Hope to hear from you soon..
Godbless!
