the winding patapat bridge

Beautiful. Just beautiful. Best enjoyed with your car's sunroof open. Pick a spot, stop, and take a shot. A true landmark in ilocos.

Even though this is a man-made attraction, it still is very scenic and beautiful. Just be mindful of passing vehicles when taking pictures.

This long viaduct is four kilometres from the Blue Lagoon resorts turnoff.It extends over the sea but is shorter than one south of Sydney, Australia.Nonetheless it is an impressive engineering feat.

The creations was fantastic. Being here is one of my dream and passing here on two wheel has always been every riders dream.

Just like many travelers my heart has been captured by this bridge. It is a long bridge and seems like never ending travel. I just love that feeling when you're like going to nowhere and mountains on the right side while sea at your left. It was just so mesmerizing and I'm speechless by what has to offer to every visitors.

We took a tour here, and had been told how amazing it was, we were like "sure sure". Drove this on a beautiful clear day and it was really amazing, bright blue sky next to bright blue ocean, it was very nice.

Coming from my hometown in Quirino Province, our normal route would be passing this Magical Bridge when visiting our relatives in Laoag, Ilocos Norte.The best place to end the ''Amianan nga Ilocos'' escapade! Also known as Patapat Viaduct, it situated at the northern most part of Ilocos Norte.I think the best time to visit the place is from 9 am to 2 pm on a sunny day! The sun will add up to the magical color of the sea, giving you a perfect and ''instagramable'' scenery. Even just by standing on the side of the bridge facing the sea for few second would make you fall in love with the place!There is also a man-made falls adding to the patapat viaduct attraction! Reminders: 1 The place is a busy bridge. Always be cautious about the cars passing by specially if you have your kids with you.2 Always keep your mobile phones, camera, and gadgets secured in your grip! The bridge has tiny holes on the side where my foot could even fit.

I don't consider the roadway itself an attraction, but the steep rugged, sprawling coastline of Ilocos Note is gorgeous as you drive the roadway.

We enjoyed it very much, we took a lot pictures great view of the ocean & mountains & we visited the grotto...

I've been to this place twice but I felt the relaxation at my second visit. I felt the great feeling probably because we are in the middle of the bridge and it was after the rainfall. The sound of the ocean as it touches rocks makes the feeling great. It as if you can find freedom when you are there.

Am I in Europe? This long winding bridge can be the Philippines version of a famous European attraction.Proud to be Pinoy! taking pics on the bridge was an adventure as cars trucks and all kinds of vehicles passed by. Delightful! Hahaha....

As we were about to leave Pagudpud, Ilocos norte and about to cross the Cagayan Valley region, we stopped at the PATAPAT bridge somehwere in the tippest part of north Luzon. Its around 8am and the Sun is not that hot yet. Everything needed for a perfect scenery were there. The Mountains, the sea, the waves, the splashes, the rock formations, and the greeneries and the man made longer snake like bridge. Breathtaking! One of the nicest spot ideal for film shooting i supposed. We took notice of another beach nearby ahead of it- PANNZIAN BEach which i find nicer since its near it and not crowded like the pagudpud beaches at BALAOi. There is always next time.

First thing all 5 of us is " what are we going to do here?" :pSince it was very hot, I was the only one who got of the tricycle to take photos. There's nothing special about the bridge but the view of course is breath taking! I just love how the waves play with the rocks :)
