Considered as a hidden treasure of Bolinao, Patar beach is a gem for the beach bums and nature lovers as well. Though its sand may not be as pure white and refined as that of Boracay's, its clear aquamarine waters and unspoiled surroundings are as inviting as any of the top beaches in the country.





There are strong currents and waves so watch your children when they are swimming. Since the beach is open to the pubic with free entrance, you'll just have to pay for the hut/cottage and shower area. There are hotels or resorts nearby if you have the budget.





The white beach in Barangay Patar is a scenic spot ideal for tourism purposes.




For travelers who constantly avoid crowded and over-developed beaches, the Patar beach of Bolinao is the best fit.



Aside from Patar Beach, along the way, you can visit the Bolinao Light House or you ca drop by the Enchanted Cave.





Bolinao is the most popular for tourists and has the most resorts in the province of Pangasinan.
