BAYBAY BEACH
Baybay beach in Roxas City is the one-stop destination for seafood
gourmands to savor the pride of Capiz. It has an array of seafood
restaurants that serve nothing but the fresh catch of crustaceans and
famous fish favorites such as blue marlin. They have comparably lower
prices and they’ll cook your choice of seafood into your liking whether
steamed in broth or just simply grilled. Feel the fresh clean sea breeze
while dining at Baybay or watch the sun goes down at La Playa de Roxas
(People’s Park) nearby before plunging into a dose of seafood fares.
OLOTAYAN ISLAND
Referred to as the “Mini-Boracay” in the City of Roxas, Olotayan Island
is approximately an hour boat ride from Banica wharf at Roxas City,
this barangay is blessed with serene shores with white sand mixing with
corals washed ashore by strong waves, Olotayan beach offers a tranquil
and relaxing “out of the city hassles” atmosphere. With clear waters
and a rural setting, where sea waves and occasional laughter’s from kids
playing at a distance, the place is fit for honeymooners or businessmen
who wants to have “a get away” from it all.
MANTALINGA ISLAND
Nearby Mantalinga island which is a kilometer away from the shoreline
of Baybay beach has been identified as an ideal diving spot for scuba
divers and a perfect rotunda for sailboat (dilayag) and kayaking
contests. Recently nicknamed “Good Luck Island” by tourism consultants,
the place is believed to be a source of luck for local fisherfolk. They
write the names of their fishing boats on the side of the island before
they set out to sea for the first time.
