Calasiao

Treat Calasiao as a half‑day stop: see the baroque church, try the famous puto, and head to Bonuan Beach or Hundred Islands (30–45 min each).

Calasiao is a small town in Pangasinan known for its rice farms, fishponds and the celebrated Calasiao puto. Its historic church and the Señor Divino Tesoro shrine are within walking distance, and the town is a short ride to Bonuan Blue Beach and the Hundred Islands. One half‑day to a full day is enough unless you plan beach time.
