Located in Alaminos City, Pangasinan is the Hundred Islands. Only three islands are being developed for tourists. You can rent a boat to show you around the different islands.

A beautiful experience wherein you won’t have to spend a lot.

The islands are scattered along Lingayen Gulf and are believed to be about two million years old. The islands are actually ancient corals that extend well inland, in an area previously comprising the seabed of an ancient sea. Lowering sea levels have exposed them to the surface and the peculiar “mushroom”-like shapes of some of the islands have been caused by the eroding action of the ocean waves. –  Text from:  jeripogi99.wordpress.com
