![Screen Shot 06-09-17 at 04.25 PM.PNG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdJsJbbSk1YHUj1eUbkopKZiQuV9cTQvTkiZECrts7Gey/Screen%20Shot%2006-09-17%20at%2004.25%20PM.PNG) *Footprints on the sand, were those steps even mine?* All the following photos were taken at [Patar Beach (Bolinao, Pangasinan)](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g1142476-d2311459-Reviews-Patar_Beach-Bolinao_Pangasinan_Province_Ilocos_Region_Luzon.html) The beach has multiple parts, for these set of photos we were half a kilometer before reaching the [light house](https://www.tripadvisor.com/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g1142476-d2311459-i168510179-Patar_Beach-Bolinao_Pangasinan_Province_Ilocos_Region_Luzon.html). Sadly, we don’t have any photos of the lighthouse and the beach near it (sand is more fine/white there and there are no seaweeds, etc; there are also rock formations. I’m going to check if I’ll be able to get photos of that next time), because we went there at about 5:30 pm and it’s already too dark to take photos of the beach, also the lighthouse needs a bit of a trek and we left all of our gadgets in the cars, for safety. ![Screen Shot 06-09-17 at 04.25 PM 001.PNG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXVi2yNFEXWYtDf8QtaNqFpnBi5gujwMBd3aHn1nuNdUZ/Screen%20Shot%2006-09-17%20at%2004.25%20PM%20001.PNG) We stayed in one of the resorts there in a Kubo style house (made up of bamboo and nipa). Nipa huts are indigenous to our country ([Wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nipa_hut)). It's very spacious and refreshing. The bedframes are made of bamboo as well but they have foams/mattresses on them. ![Screen Shot 06-09-17 at 04.23 PM 002.PNG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTx8a9pS1hMWmF2eXSEjaFY33xfV8P5zLhcMXGSffvYiu/Screen%20Shot%2006-09-17%20at%2004.23%20PM%20002.PNG) Here's a photo of the resort in panoramic view from the beach, it's not grand, but it's alright, I enjoyed my stay there. I liked staying on those terraces and even under them (there's a bit of space beside the column supporting it, 3-4 people can sit there). I can even climb up to the roof on the far-left side of that photo (as you can see there's a staircase there - unfinished - most likely they're still planning to add more floors to the resort). ![Screen Shot 06-09-17 at 04.24 PM.PNG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTfxoMMsotjFYBVmQQcTh4WESm4PnRLypiF3ZQLZBYVyw/Screen%20Shot%2006-09-17%20at%2004.24%20PM.PNG) Writing people’s name on the sand is a bit of a hobby. That’s my nickname there. http://www.citadeltheatre.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/divider1.png **I love the feeling of my feet on the sand greeted by waves of seawater.** ![Screen Shot 06-09-17 at 04.21 PM.PNG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmce6o5gnXdnKst9AvpGyE27rJbP9fxHAcwfyKAerSmEic/Screen%20Shot%2006-09-17%20at%2004.21%20PM.PNG) http://www.citadeltheatre.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/divider1.png ## Here are more photos of the beach and the waters:
