Hundred Islands National Park is located in the northern Philippines, specifically in the province of Pangasinan, and is known for its breathtaking collection of 124 coral reef islands at low tide. Situated in the Lingayen Gulf, these islands offer diverse landscapes, including limestone cliffs and beaches with sand colors ranging from white to beige, set against a backdrop of clear blue waters. The park is a haven for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike, offering activities like island hopping, snorkeling, and camping. The best time to visit is during the dry months from December to May, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for outdoor activities.
The park is not only a natural wonder but also a protected area aimed at preserving its pristine wilderness and diverse wildlife. Only four of the islands are developed for tourism, which includes Governor's Island, Quezon Island, Marcos Island, and Children's Island. These islands provide amenities such as cottages and picnic tables, enhancing the overall visitor experience.
Despite its beauty and array of activities, visitors should plan their trip carefully as the facilities within the park itself are limited. Nearby Alaminos City offers additional restaurants and accommodations to support travelers.
