The neighborhood of Patar, in Bolinao, Pangasinan, is known for its white-sand Patar Beach, with rock formations for shore fishing, and open-air bars and restaurants overlooking the West Philippine Sea. The nearby Cape Bolinao Lighthouse, built in 1905, towers more than 350 feet above rugged Punta Piedra Beach, and is surrounded by lush vegetation. Underground caves contain natural pools fed by cool spring water.
Bolinao is a town on the west coast of Luzon Island, in the northern Philippines. The Spanish colonial St. James the Great Parish Church dates from the 1600s, and has an exterior made of black coral stones. The University of the Philippines' Bolinao Marine Laboratory supports the conservation of giant clams and other sea life.
