With its rich cultural traditions, coastal beauty, and culinary treasures, this vibrant town is a must-visit destination for foodies, heritage lovers, and beach wanderers alike!

Binmaley is strategically located between Dagupan and Lingayen.

You’ll see numerous fishponds lining the town as proof of its thriving seafood industry.
