Located at the municipality of Bangui in Ilocos Norte, the windmills are strategically placed facing the West Philippine Sea from where the wind blows towards the land. According to Northwind Bangui Bay Project which operates the windmills, the location along the shore is optimal in removing windbreaks. The site is free from any trees and vegetation which stretches approximately 9 km. along the shoreline and are 236 meters apart which are lined up giving a composition to the scene.
The area is still undeveloped and uninhabited making it an ideal site for the turbines. However, some locals have built stores that sells souvenir items (miniature windmill) in the area to cater to the large influx of tourists who visits the place. By the way, the windmills of Bangui is much bigger and larger compared to those that are located in Pililia.
How to Get There:
1.) From Laoag City, ride a jeep bound towards the town of Burgos.
2.) The windmill blades are visible from the highway while you are traveling.
