An archipelago of 123 small, pristine isles, four of which have been developed for tourists. They can be reached via chartered excursion or boat ride from the Lucap wharf outside of Alaminos.
The highlight of the area serving as the embarkation point to the Hundred Islands but also a seafront venue with stores, restaurants, a miniature model of the islands, and a very peculiar lighthouse with stairs wrapping around the outside of the structure.
The first church was built in 1770, but it was rebuilt a few times after being burned to where current church dates to about 1893. It is the seat of the Roman Catholic church in western Pangasinan. Also try People's Park adjacent if you need to stretch your legs.
Local beach at about where the Hundred Islands start, but may have to pay and also it is not as serene as some (e.g. seaweed, dirty toilets).
This one is nice because you can look out at Lingayen Gulf and all the launches to the Hundred Islands while you eat. But a little spendy. Also has 9 rooms for ₱3100.
