On the other side of the Lingayen Gulf from the beaches of Alaminos, Pangasinan lies a cluster of small beautiful coralline limestone islands famous know as the "Hundred Islands".Projected as a national recreation area administered by the Philippine Tourism Authority, this is a popular place for visitors, with a well regulated system of outrigger boat hire for island visits and tours that operate out of the nearby mainland village of Lucap. Most of the islands consist of vertical cliffs of limestone, topped by scrubby forest, on which it is impossible to land. Indeed, many have been undercut by the sea; as a result, the smallest islets form attractive "tables" that hang above the surrounding shallow waters.
