It was after my sister's hell week and before my hell week when we all decided to head down to Pangasinan.
My dad loves "mini reunions" or "get-togethers" whenever he's here in the Philippines. Since he's always away for work, we couldn't say 'no' whenever he plans for a short trip to his hometown.
It was a long drive to Patar (from Lingayen to the end of Bolinao). The ride was roughly 2 hours.
Patar Beach! The sand was white-cream in color and the water has shades of blue.
The sand isn't as fine as powder but it was okay.
We all thought that we'd have the beach to ourselves but as we arrived there were a lot of people.
We also thought that the 'kubos' were free of charge. We thought wrong, again! You have to pay to somebody to rent a 'kubo' and they issue an official receipt (the ones that you get when you pay taxes or charges from the municipality). Legit.
There's a common place where you can shower and you have to pay P10 to use it.
My mother..hhhmm..

The waves were strong. Once it hits you, you'd be thrown to the shore then pulled back in the water again.
It was hard to get a family picture! The waves would just throw us everywhere!
We managed to get tons of pictures though
and of course our family picture!
As I was saying, there were a lot of people when we got there, as well as kids!
Photobombing kids are just everywhere!
Here's my sister posing, then this kid ruins it. Hahaha!

I love beaches.
- What I like about Patar Beach:
- The sand is nice. The color of the sea with the different hues of blue.
- I like the long drive going there. And just as you think it's secluded, you arrive and find a parking lot full of vehicles.
- The view.
- The place is pretty much clean.
What I like less about Patar Beach:
-Though the water is clean and nice, there are a lot of huge rocks (or CORALS). It's close to the shore and most of us got bruised when the water dragged us.
Till the next journey!
