Hundred Islands in Pangasinan
One of the best beaches and tourist hot spots of the Philippines that I really aspire to go and spend a relaxation mode this coming summer is the nurture hundred islands in the province of Pangasinan.
Hundred Islands was scattered like emeralds in the deep blue waters off Pangasinan. Unexplored coves and islets awake seekers of solitude. Each one in its own pristine beauty basks int ehs un, lapped by the waters of Lingayen Gulf.
Situated in Alaminos, Pangasinan, Hundred Islands is a gem waiting to be discovered. Choose among its many facets. Soak in the sunshine on the white sand beaches of Quezon Island. Frolic in the shallow waters of Children's Island. Hire a boat and go island-hopping. Explore the abundant marine life beneath the waters of Lingayen Gulf. Hike through caves and across island trails and discover interesting rock formations.
The Hundred Islands National Park (Pangasinan: Kapulo-puloan or Taytay-Bakes) is in the province of Pangasinan in northern Philippines. It is located in Alaminos City, Pangasinan. The islands (124 at low tide and 123 at high tide) are scattered along Lingayen Gulf and cover an area of 1,844 hectares (4,556.62 acres). They are believed to be about two million years old. Only three of them have been developed for tourists: Governor Island, Quezon Island, and Children's Island.
Lucap, just 3 kilometers from Alaminos, is the main accommodation centre for the islands and from here you can hire boats to reach them. There are lots of hidden coves, caves and coral reefs. Quezon, the largest island, is being developed as a tourist resort.

How to get there:
By commuting from Cubao bus terminal just ride a buses (Victory Liner or Dagupan Bus) that bounding to Alaminos then after 4-5 hours trip and dropped at Alaminos take a tricycle and tell them to bring you at Lucap pier which you can rent a boat for your Island hopping. Boat rental fare it's in approximately of 1000 - 2000 Php.
