In this article, allow being to share with you some of the top adventures you could try in this beautiful province.
1. Mount Balungao
A much nature-inclined activity would be trekking in this inactive mountain. Once you reach your destination, you will be greeted with a fantastic view, and along the way, ethereal springs are also available. These natural activities both come in hot and cold, so you have to decide and choose which one you prefer.

2. Bolinao Falls
Found in the middle of the forest, the Bolinao Falls merely is a sight to behold. Though it may take you a while to reach the place, the refreshing water, the lush green surroundings, and the overall vibes of the place will make you feel that all is worth it.

3. Cape Bolinao Lighthouse ( Pangasinan Tourist Spot )
Founded during the American settlement era in our country, this lighthouse stands tall and is second in terms of height out of all the towers located in Pangasinan. What makes this place unique? Climb into the lighthouse with someone special and seize the spectacular 360-degree view of the South China Sea. How cool and at the same time romantic is that?
4. Lingayen Beach
Though there are a lot of beaches in Pangasinan, Lingayen Beach is astounding in terms of the quality of the powdery sand. In this beach, you can see athletes running barefoot, or people having their yogas in the sand. Yes, that is how sandy it is.

5. Hundred Island National Park
This is a bucket list completer! With just a minimal fee for the boat (much better in a group), you can have your ultimate island hopping experience! Though you may not stop in the total of 123 islands because it will not be viable with the time restriction, you will get to cover all of those as you ride the boat. You will then be given to choose about 4 to 6 islands to visit and to dock for quite some time. Yes, this is worth it!

6. Lingayen Capitol Complex ( Pangasinan Tourist Spot )
A capitol that stood the test of time and war (World War II) is what Lingayen Capitol Complex is all about. Though some parts of it were damaged and were reconstructed, the overall beauty vibe of the historic capital remains. Thus, a lot of tourists include it in their itinerary because of its rich ancient past.
7. Oceanographic Marine Laboratory
An educational way of getting to know the place as well as all the marine creatures that swarm in the area is by visiting the Oceanographic Marine Laboratory. In this place, they try to study, promote, and take good care of the different species that they discover.

8. James Parish
This parish was founded by the Augustinian, and since it was built during the Spanish colonization, the architectural design of the St. James Parish church is similar to those of the Spanish and Mexican, specifically the altar area.
9. Our Lady of Manoag ( Pangasinan Tourist Spot )
A lot of visitors will first head to this place, and after here will head to nearby beaches. What is good about Our Lady of Manoag church is that it can accommodate a lot of visitors. They have a lot of masses, and it is also believed that the oil and water coming from the shrine is miraculous in such a way that it can heal those who are sick. Thus, a lot of pilgrims and believers flock to the place, especially on a Sunday.
10. Wonderful Cave
It is now time for much adventurous activity. What makes this cave famous is the clean and cold mineral water found inside! Yes, if you feel that you’ve had enough of the seawater, trying out fresh water is also an ideal alternative.
I hope that by sharing with you this list, you get to realize how worthy is Pangasinan to be visited; its teeming life in terms of species, attractions, and natural resources will make your vacation a happy and memorable one.
