Not too long ago, I made this short visit to the beaches of Barangay Patar in Bolinao and captured its romantic sunset. A few minutes earlier, I captured the famous and majestic Bolinao Lighthouse, which is the second tallest lighthouse in the Philippines. It provides a panoramic view of the West Philippine Sea.

Bolinao also takes pride of its sea urchins which abound at Isla Silaki. “The town, aside from being a fishing domain, is also a heritage site in the Philippines, possessing an olden church surrounded by heritage houses. The town is also the location of the cave where the gold-teeth Bolinao Skulls with fish scale designs were found. Scholars have been pushing for the town’s cultural landscape into the UNESCO World Heritage List.
