Dasol is a coastal municipality in Pangasinan. It has a sizable number of amenities along the beach and other attractions to draw tourism.
Understand
[edit | edit source]Dasol is a sleepy township tucked away on the coastal plains of Pangasinan, which is largely vested in salt harvesting through the channeling of seawater into ponds where it is evaporated.
The municipality came about when it was created out San Isidro (now Burgos) in 1911. It has a somewhat interesting history, though, given that both American and Japanese vessels were sunk offshore during World War II. There was a brief communist insurrection around 1950 that cost a few lives.
Its name is believed to have been derived from the word "dalus-dalusan," which means "a place where one passes by often." It is known for its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere.
It is home to about 32,000 people (census, 1 July 2024) 
Get in
[edit | edit source]Dasol is 290 kilometres (180 mi) north from Manila via Camiling, Tarlac and 88 km (55 mi) from Dagupan. Taking the opposite direction via Subic and Olongapo in Zambales, Dasol is 310 kilometres (190 mi) away from Manila.
Dasol can be reached by bus or jeepney trips from Alaminos and Santa Cruz. Notable bus companies are Victory Liner, and Luzon Cisco Transport, a sister company of Five Star.
Get around
[edit | edit source]It is traversed by the fully paved Olongapo-Bugallon Road (Route 306), the main thoroughfare in western Pangasinan. Tricycles are the primary mode of transportation within Dasol, especially for short distances. Vans and jeepneys also serve as means of local transportation.
