Pasaleng Bay can be found some distance from the town proper of Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte, and is a locale that is rapidly becoming famous for its excellent diving spots and gorgeous beaches. 

The Patapat Viaduct offers a scenic view of Pasaleng Bay.  The viaduct, elevated 31 meters over sea level, is 1.3 km concrete coastal bridge that connects the Maharlika Highway from Laoag, Ilocos Norte to the Cagayan Valley Region. It rises along the town's coastal mountains, which is the starting point of the Cordillera Mountain Range that snakes through Northern Luzon. It is the 4th longest bridge in the Philippines.  It offers a stunning view that leads towards wide and pristine beaches backed by mountains with breathtaking waterfalls Kabigan and Mabaga, along with the many cool, refreshing springs waiting to be discovered within.

The bay has gained renown as a prime diving spot because besides its natural wealth of coral and marine life, it also has a shipwreck from the Second World War. These have attracted divers and adventurers of all kinds, each and every one treated to a truly unique diving experience.
