When I miss where I grew up, I find comfort in looking at my old photos. For me, the quaint town of Bolinao is the anchor of such memories.
Bolinao is a place where you can smell the ocean and feel the warm sun. Every photo I take there takes me back to special times. It’s also where my children first fell in love with nature’s beauty.
A Place of Natural Beauty
It's like a real-life paradise, with beaches that have super soft sand and clear blue water – perfect for chilling out and feeling like you're in a dream. The colors are amazing – the bright blue sky meeting the turquoise ocean makes a picture that looks too good to be true.
But wait, there's more! Bolinao also has the cleanest river in all of Luzon, so clear you can practically see the sky reflected in it. It's beautiful and refreshing, all at the same time.
Right next to the calming beach waves, you'll find giant rock formations that look like amazing sculptures made by nature. They've been around for a super long time, shaped by the wind and weather. These rocks are dramatic and peaceful all at once, creating a stunning view. It's like looking at a piece of history, and they make you realize how cool our planet is. So whether you're relaxing on the beach or checking out the rocks, Bolinao is a feast for your eyes and a great place to unwind.
