Map of our Itinerary:
Day 1-7:30 AM-3:00 PM >Baguio to Tondol, Anda, Pangasinan. It took us more than 7 hours to reach Tondol as we traveled passing Bauang, La Union and including our stops along the way to have meals.
How to get there:
There are buses going there however, you'll need to ride tricycle from the main road to the island in case you'll commute. If you have vehicle, the place is easily located, use maps available on your phone (we used google map), it's really helpful.

Lunch and Sightseeing at Dagupan Pantal Bridge
Here are some beach resorts in Tondol, Anda where you can stay. Just search their Facebook page for more info. I think normal rates of accommodations there starts at Php 1,500.00. We planned to stay at 828 Gems Beach Resort since they have good feedback specially with their paluto services however, since it was an unplanned trip, we were not able to book for accommodation thinking it was not peak season (March 16, 2019), unfortunately upon arrival, they were fully booked then, they don't have meals/paluto services as there was an event they were catering.
Try exploring also the public beach where "I 💗 Tondol" is located.
We stayed at Villa Cecilia Beach Resort, at first, their room cost Php 2,500 though we got discount so we payed 1,500 good for 3. Bring your own toiletries as you'll only get bedding, no towels. We requested but they only gave us one.😏 They have paluto services but then, better if you can bring your own food. They also have stores around in case you forgot to bring something. The good thing is that the whole duration of stay is 24 hours, unlike other accommodations which has specific check-out time regardless of what time you checked-in.

What you can see in Anda, Pangasinan
Tondol Beach has a fine white sand with wide shoreline, good for kids as the water is shallow. If you are a swimmer, you'll need to walk at least 5 minutes (200 meters) going to the deeper part of the water. There's also a little Island you can explore, you can even swim going there.
Excited to take photos upon arrival 😅
You can bring your own ball for beach volleyball, there are also videoke for rent.
