The Golden Patar Beach in Bolinao

Patar Beach in Bolinao is just one of the many tourist spots in Pangasinan.
Part 7 of The Pangasinan Escapade

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).

It was 12 noon when we were in the beach, but the sand is cool that you won't get hurt when you walk on it.

Indulge swimming in the vivid aqua color of Patar Beach.

Just be careful though, sea waves are engulfing! (Photo at Patar Beach, Bolinao)



Looking for another Pangasinan beach worth visiting to? Head to Dasol, Pangasinan.


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!

PERFECT GETAWAY. From the golden sand, splendid aqua color, cool blue water up to the bright azure sky, you will never ever forget this perfect getaway.

BURIED ALIVE. Get yourself covered with gold--er with sands rather.
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.



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.


SANDS OF PURE GOLD. Visit Patar Beach in Bolinao and be stunned by the creamy gold color of its sand.



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.


The resort you see in the background is The Treasures of Bolinao.

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).

The small lagoon beside the wonderful Patar Beach.

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.

  4. Hi! We are planning to go to Patar this April. :)
    Yung 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! :)

    Patar 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... :)

    1. Yung mga kubo around the beach can be rented for overnight na rin? At may banyo na rin ba yung mga yun?
      BTW, your map is very helpful in planning our itinerary. :)

    2. 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.

      Yung 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. :)

    1. Hello,

      I 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! :)

    1. Hello 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.

      I'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. :)

    1. Hello, 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. :)

    1. Yes it's true. Hopefully it will not be as crowded as Boracay in the coming few years. :)

  16. Pwede bang magbonfire dyan sa Patar? Thanks.

    1. As 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. ^^
