DaintyPinkHeart: Hundred Islands National Park

When my friend & her American boyfriend visited from the US, she asked me if we can all go to Hundred Islands. I said yes right away. I just love going to the beach and I wanted to see what has changed since I've been to Hundred Islands which was like 17 yrs ago. Coming from Cavite, we left around 5am & reached Alaminos after 6 hours. (including 2 stopovers for breakfast in NLEX & lunch in ALAMINOS)

Hundred Islands is located in Alaminos, Pangasinan in Luzon. Approximately 4-5 hrs from Manila- take the NLEX then SCTEX and exit at HACIENDA LUICITA. Just follow the sign going to ALAMINOS, PANGASINAN and look for LUCAP WHARF.

It is composed of 124 islands/islets at lowtide & 123 islands/islets at hightide. (* the Philippines has 7,107 islands during lowtide & 7,106 islands during hightide).

Upon arriving at Lucap Wharf, proceed to the Tourism Information Center.
