more seascapes from Pangasinan

PANGASINAN is noted for its beaches which dot its coastline facing the Pacific Ocean. Some are more developed than others. Most of them do not have lifeguards so swimmers usually jump in at their own risk.

But if swimming is not your cup of tea, i.e. if you just go there for a seafood picnic or just to enjoy the sun, wind and the sea , then you are in for a treat.

May 1 is usually celebrated as Pistay Dayat ( meaning Feast of the Sea )..In Lingayen ( the provincial capital ) the sea is packed on this day with tourists from far towns beyond Pangasinan. Tourists, including some local movie stars from as far as Manila would gather here for this unique fluvial festival.

The highlight of the day long festival would be the selection of the Muse who will be paraded in a gorgeous water procession.
