HUNDRED ISLANDS NATIONAL PARK


The Hundred Islands National Park is in the province of Pangasinan in northern Philippines. It is located in Alaminos  City, Pangasinan. The islands (124 at low tide and 123  at high tide) are scattered along Lingayen  Gulf and cover an area of 18.44 square kilometres (4,557 acres).  They are believed to be about two million years old. Only three of them  have been developed for tourists: Governor Island, Quezon Island, and  Children’s Island. The islands are actually ancient corals that extend  well inland, in an area previously comprising the seabed of an ancient  sea. Lowering sea levels have exposed them to the surface and the  peculiar “mushroom”-like shapes of some of the islands have been caused  by the eroding action of the ocean waves.
