Dingalan , Aurora_the secret paradise of the east
Dubbed as “the secret paradise of the east.”, tourists deeply fall in love with this place even at first visit and everyone catch themselves coming back again and again.Not too far from Manila,it usually takes 3-4 hours to get to the province .For both commuters and non-commuters, travel is not much of a hassle as North Luzon Expressway is, well, very accessible.
There are many activities waiting in the province such as plunging into the clear beach,exploring the caves,relaxing and savoring the serenity of nature etc.

The lighthouse
One of the main attractions in Dingalan is the Lighthouse.
How to get there.
From the Feeder Port we rented a boat to reached white beach which took around 20 to 30 minutes,(don't know exactly the cost as the trip was arranged by a tour operator ) From what they called white beach ( actually i have not seen any white sand ) we started to hike up to the summit where the lighthouse stood. If you're new to hiking , this will take another 20-30 minutes before reaching the top, but once you're at the top, the beauty sorrounding the lighthouse will take your breath away.
Below are some of my amateur shots taken during our trip.

Tanawan Falls
Few kilometers from the town proper is Tanawan falls.From the main highway , we drove in a graded road wherein the last portion was not passable,unless you are driving a 4x4 vehicle, the road started to be muddy and rocky as well.We started to hike for a couple of kilometers to reach the waterfalls.
