This time we headed north along Pangasinan's west coast (Burgos and Dasol). We came across a large formation of rocks in Brgy Ilio-ilio in the town of Burgos. The locals call the rock formation "Timapog na Bato" which means "a rock that moved to the sea". The place is a favorite excursion destination for the townspeople of Burgos and the nearby barangays of Dasol.
Timapog na Bato The rocks provide an excellent shade for the beach goers. It's very cool under the rocks even with the searing summer heat. The water in front of Timapog na Bato is also a great snorkeling site. The area is generally shallow but it has "holes" about 5-7 feet deep scattered all over. Small colorful fishes have made these holes their home.

the rock tower is amazing, it looks like it's screaming or something like a hairdo of an alien in one movie

ReplyDeleteSangbay falls is at Brgy. San Vicente, Burgos. Ask the tricycle drivers at the town proper so they can guide you papunta dun. Travel is on foot, sa daan pa lang adventure na.
ReplyDeletehow long is the trip from Burgoz town to the said place? except to the 30 minutes boat trip
