Panay Church in Roxas City, Capiz ProvinceLocated in the heart of Capiz Province in Western Visayas region, Roxas City is a charming coastal destination known for its rich fishing heritage, tranquil beaches, and historical landmarks. As the Seafood Capital of the Philippines, it’s a paradise for food lovers and a peaceful retreat for those looking to explore a quieter, off-the-beaten-path destination in the country.

Travelers can discover the city’s best attractions and experiences through curated Capiz tours, which often include visits to cultural sites, seaside promenades, and culinary stops featuring the freshest catch from the province’s abundant waters.

One of the city’s iconic landmarks is the Immaculate Conception Metropolitan Cathedral, a centuries-old church that reflects Spanish-era architecture and stands as a symbol of the city’s deep Catholic roots. Just nearby is the Capiz Provincial Capitol, another beautiful heritage structure surrounded by tree-lined streets and open spaces.

The Baybay Beach area is a favorite local hangout and a must-visit spot for tourists. This black-sand beach is lined with open-air seafood restaurants where you can enjoy freshly grilled fish, scallops, oysters, and other shellfish while taking in the sea breeze.
