A group of islands in Lingayen Gulf off the coast of Barangay Lucap: 124 of them at low tide, and 123 when the tide is in. It was the first national park declared in the country and it covers 16.76 square kilometres. The islands are limestone, about two million years old, and waves cut the mushroom shape that some of them carry at the waterline. Old coral sits well inland, on ground that was once seabed.
Four islands are developed for visitors. Quezon Island has the most on it. The other three are Governor Island, Children's Island and Pilgrimage Island. President Manuel L. Quezon signed the park into being in January 1940, and in 2001 the site was declared a National Geological Monument. The city government of Alaminos has run it since 2005.
