    What's the fastest route to Bolinao coming from Qc Kung aalis ng madaming araw, 4am. Ano po road conditions within Bolinao? Specifically going to Patar Beach? Rough road or cemented/asphalted road na po ba? Dala ko kasi sedan at puno kami so baka mahirapan pag rough road.
    Also I have read about places to visit in Bolinao, like the falls and caves, the lighthouse, same question din, anong conditions ng road dito sa mga tourist spots na 'to?
    Lastly to those who have been there recently sa Patar beach, saan part maganda mag rent ng bahay kubo(contact person?) for overnight, yong less crowded sana.

    You can try this route sir:

    QC to Mindanao NLEX
    NLEX to SCTEX
    SCTEX to TPLEX
    TPLEX exit to Urdaneta
    Urdaneta to Calasiao-San Carlos Road
    San Carlos to Bugallon Road
    Bugallon- Alaminos to Bolinao.

    Around around 6 hours roadtrip yan sir.
    Road condition: asphalt na ang road and maluwag narin even pangasinan major roads, pagpasok mo ng boliano -patar road, medyo masikip ang daan pero manageable para sa mga sedan.

    Lodge: Pagdating mo sa Bolinao area, marami doon mapagpipilian na place averaging from 1500 to 3K per night.

    Good luck and enjoy the road trip!!!

    nlex -> macarthur hway -> romulo hway -> bugallon-sual -> bugallon-labrador -> labrador-sual -> sual-alaminos -> alaminos-bani -> bani-bolinao -> s.camangian street to bolinao lighthouse and patar.

    better take macarthur hway after nlex para di kna magbayad ng toll sa sctex and tplex since maluwag namn mga h-ways dun.
    kaya ng sedan but steep climbs and zigzag sa tiep(before bolinao), then specially ingat sa lighthouse all the way to patar lalo na kung matrapik at marami cars on peak season, sobrang steep dito at paliko liko. btw cemented road nman but meron some repairs.

    Went there last holyweek, sa sobrang dami ng tao at sasakyan sa patar wala ng accomodation at parking nasayang time dahil matrapik. Went back a few kilometers before the lighthouse, dun mas maganda accomodation at konti tao but a little pricey

    I would love to try this route since it's more scenic. Iba pa din pag mga green fields of palay makikita mo sa byahe and fresh air. I'll do this soon. Thank you for sharing. Any restos along the way na masarap kainan?

    Kung pupunta din lang kayo ng Pangasinan, after nyo magvisit sa Patar try nyo narin sa Dasol, kalmado ang tubig walang alon, best for kids din super linaw ng tubig makikita mo mga isda kasama mong maglalangoy kitang kita mo hanggang ilalim. unlike sa Patar wala pang 50 meters from shore ang tutulis na ng mga bato nakakasugat.

    This. Last summer when we went there, we took the Ramos/Paniqui Exit.

    Google Maps

    May konting road widening during that time but road condition quite is good all the way basta main road tahakin mo. Road in Bolinao is also good. The beach is so so.
