Cape Bolinao Lighthouse



I must confess it was very challenging to take a snapshot of this famous attraction in Bolinao . Thanks to my husband's skills and of course the power of lenses, we succeeded.  lol


The Cape Bolinao Lighthouse at Patar rises majestically 351 feet above sea level atop Punta Piedra Point, a towering hill of solid rock which is the sharp point of Cape Bolinao itself.It was built by the Americans in 1903 on a 351 feet (107 m) high promontory at the western part of Cape Bolinao, the lighthouse still sends signals to vessels passing by the area. (wikipedia)


We wished to get inside and climb to get a panoramic view of the neighboring places but to our dismay, it was locked.




We just satisfied ourselves by checking out the breathtaking view of the South China sea and this roofless structure beside the lighthouse, which was sadly ruined by a storm just this year. 







coming soon... Patar Beach!
