Tondol Beach

Tondol Beach, Anda Pangasinan, is two hours away from Dagupan City passing Binmaley, Lingayen, Alaminos, Sual, and Bolinao. From the town proper of Anda, it takes 30 minutes to barangay Tondol.

Tondol Beach offers a long stretch shallow and calm waters. There is a cemented pathway along the shoreline which enables everybody to walk and move further to the other parts of the beach.

Tondol Beach is located at the northern tip of Anda, an island municipality that used to be accessible only by boat across the narrow Catubig Channel. In the early 1990���s a bridge across the channel was constructed to connect the island with mainland Pangasinan.

Travel Tips

It���s best to visit Tondol during the summer or dry months when the skies are blue, the beach is cleaner and does not have as much debris (most of it biodegradable anyway) as during the rainy months. As bloggers have repeatedly pointed out, Tondol is also best enjoyed during low tide. The tides can vary from week to week so it���s safer to stay for one whole day at Tondol so you don���t miss the best viewing and swimming times. Also make sure you are there early in the morning when low tide usually comes in.

Traveling to Tondol by private vehicle: Head to Alaminos first. If you���re coming from Metro Manila, take the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) and continue on to Tarlac via the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX). From Tarlac City take the road to Camiling and on to Alaminos. From Alaminos, continue on the road going to Bolinao pass the town of Bani. There is a fork on the road after Bani that goes on to Anda.

We haven���t tried going to Tondol via public utility vehicle but we���re assuming the best way is to get a bus that passes by Alaminos (Victory, Five Star and the like). From Alaminos one can get a mini bus to Anda town proper and then a trike to Tondol Beach.
