Masangret Cove and Bangol Crags
About
Pangasinan's hidden lagoon! Masangret Cove is a small pocket of turquoise water ringed by dark rock, with a strip of soft sand and tide pools to explore, and the wide, wild beach at Bangol Crags is just along the same coast. There are no resorts, no stalls and no lifeguards, so it feels like your own secret spot. Pack food and water, come on a sunny morning and leave nothing behind!
Dry until sunset (5:37 PM). Good time to go!
