Burgos, Pangasinan
Spend a day in Burgos to see Cabongaoan Beach, Sangbay Falls and the historic church; stay in a local guesthouse if you want a night.
Burgos is a small coastal town on Luzon's western edge, known for white‑sand beaches, a short hike to Sangbay Falls and a Spanish‑era church. Most attractions fit in a half‑day, so one full day is enough; a night in a guesthouse adds a relaxed beach sunset.
