Situated at the northwestern tip of Pangasinan and Lingayen Gulf, the scenic town of Bolinao boasts of a number of pristine beaches regarded to be some of the bests in the province.Considered as a hidden treasure of Bolinao, Patar beach is a gem for the beach bums and the nature lovers as well. Though its sand may not be as pure white and refined as that of Boracay, its clear aquamarine waters and unspoiled surroundings are as inviting as any of the top beaches in the country. For travelers who constantly avoid crowded and over-developed beaches, the Patar beach of Bolinao is the best fit.

How to Get There: Manila to Bolinao
1. Traveling via Private Car = From NLEX, we headed towards Tarlac through Bamban-Mabalacat route. Then, on McArthur Hi-way and turned left at the Mercury Drug & Victory Liner Junction, driving through Zamora Street to Camiling. This is to avoid the heavy traffic in Urdaneta, Dagupan and Lingayen. The route to Bolinao passes through the towns of Mangatarem, Aguilar, Bugallon, Labrador, Sual, Alaminos, and Bani. The roads are in good condition, and your travel won't be boring because of the nice countryside scenery.
2. Traveling via Bus = There are buses that goes straight to Bolinao. You could call their office for the definite time of departure because there are limited time schedules.
Still if you dont catch that, you could take the bus that goes to Alaminos and from there get on another bus or jeep that travels to Bolinao. It takes 30-40 mins of travel time from Alaminos to Bolinao. Then from Bolinao Bus Terminal hire a tricycle to take you to the scenic spot in Bolinao price ranging from P65.00-P85.00 pesos per location
Bus Company:
1. Victory Liner (Cubao to Bolinao) P432.00 one way
