About Bolinao Falls 3
Bolinao Falls 3 is the most serene and spacious among the three major waterfalls in Bolinao, Pangasinan. Unlike Falls 1 and 2—which are popular for cliff diving and dramatic drops—Bolinao Falls 3 is known for its wide natural pool, gentle cascades, and calm waters perfect for families, beginners, and those who simply want a quiet place to swim and relax.
Its light turquoise water, large basin, and surrounding rock formations make it a refreshing stop on any Bolinao adventure. Many travelers claim that Falls 3 is the most relaxing and best for swimming compared to the more rugged environment of Falls 1 and 2.

A tricycle rental usually costs ₱600–₱800 for the entire falls circuit. Roads going to the falls are partly rough, but manageable. Parking spaces are available for those bringing private vehicles.
