💡 Tips
- Visit the Pangasinan Provincial Capitol, often called the most beautiful in the country, and check if the roof deck is open for views.
- Lingayen is the Bagoong Capital; buy the authentic fermented fish paste at the public market for the best prices and quality.
- The Lingayen Gulf Beach was the site of Gen. MacArthur’s 1945 landing; explore the WWII tanks and planes at the nearby Veterans Park.
- The Baywalk is a long paved path excellent for sunrise or sunset strolls, jogging, or cycling with a sea breeze.
