Ayagao beach

There’s more to Roxas City’s shoreline than the already talked-about grey sand beach that is Baybay. If you want to experience the other side of the city, head to Ayagao Beach and be mesmerized by the unadulterated beauty that it has to offer. If your idea of rest and relaxation is getting tucked in a faraway island, then, Ayagao offers you almost the same feeling, only that it’s just a 20 minute ride from the city center. With its course off-white sand beach, the hiking trails, the zip-line and the magnificent of the sunset, there’s no wonder Ayagao is fast becoming a nature lover’s destination.

Cadimahan river tour

  Nature lovers, would suggest that you don't leave Roxas City without experiencing this refreshing and enriching ride through the river. You'll enjoy being lectured by fisherfolk about the mangroves lining the river and the wildlife present there. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the floating cabaña restaurant serves great food! Their green mango salad was so good that Free didn't notice that he had already eaten okra!"

Sta. Monica Church and Panay Bell





One of the oldest churches in the country, Sta. Monica Church was built on 1774.  With majestic Baroque influences defined by the use of attached coupled piers in Corinthian style, the architecture of the façade is articulated following the tenets of the Baroque movement.  It was declared a National Landmark by the National Historical Institute of the Philippines on 1997.  In the topmost tier of its five-level belfry is the biggest and most likely the heaviest Christian bell in Asia which was cast in 1878 using 70 sacks of coins.  It is about 7ft. in height and 5ft. in diameter and weighs 10.4 tons.
Christianity was established here when Fray Martin de Rada, OSA first preached the gospel to its native in 1566.  Miguel Lopez de Legaspi set camp in Panay in 1569, making the town his temporary administrative capital after leaving Cebu for lack of food.

Pilar Caves

From a distance, the 200ft. high grayish black rock cliff of the mountain that hosts these caves offers spectacular sight for tourists.  Exotic orchids and other plants fill the air with adorable fragrance especially during summer.  Wild animals and birds can also be found in the area.
These caves are revered for their cultural and historical significance.  These have been used as burial sites of pre-Spanish inhabitants.  One of the greatest battles in the province against Spanish soldiers took place in one of its caves, the Balisong Cave.  Juan Arce, Capiz greatest revolutionario died during this battle.
