Hundred Islands



Hundred Islands

Covering an area of 18.44 sq km (4,557 acres), the Hundred Islands is composed of 123 islands scattered along the Lingayen Gulf in the Province of Pangasinan in the Philippines. The islands were shaped from uplifted coral deposits millions of years ago and their unusual “umbrella-like” shapes caused by the eroding action of the ocean tides. Three of the islands were developed as places where visitors can stay. There’s a two-bedroom guesthouse complete with amenities at the Governor’s Island ideal for family use. Travelers on a budget can choose the bahay kubos (nipa hut) at the Children’s Island while Quezon Island is perfect for camping and picnics.
