- Baybay (Roxas City Baywalk) — A low-key seaside promenade where locals stroll, vendors grill fresh catch at night, and sunset light over Capiz Bay is a textbook chill way to get the city’s seaside vibe without a schedule.
- Punta Tabuc Seafood Village — Bamboo platforms, open grills and a row of tiny seafood shacks right on the water. It’s the classic Roxas eating experience: point at the fish, wait five minutes, eat it with your hands.
- Roxas City Public Market (Seafood Market) — Early-morning chaos of trays piled high with shrimp, crab, and fish plus capiz shells for souvenirs. Great for people-watching, bargain hunting, and scoring ridiculously fresh food you can take to a nearby cookshop.
- Ang Panublion (Capiz Museum) — The city’s go-to for local history: pre-colonial artifacts, Spanish-era

- Ang Panublion (Capiz Museum) — The city’s go-to for local history: pre-colonial artifacts, Spanish-era documents and photos, plus displays that explain the culture behind Capiz’s seafood and shell industries. Compact but packed with useful context.
- Immaculate Conception Metropolitan Cathedral (Roxas Cathedral) — A calm, photogenic landmark in the city center. Beyond the architecture, the plaza in front is where community life and small events still happen.
- Capiz Provincial Capitol & Capitol Park — The classic provincial government complex with landscaped lawns, sculptures and a small lagoon. It’s a good spot for a relaxed walk and to see some civic-era architecture up close.
- Roxas City Pier / Port Area — Not glamorous, but crucial: watch fishing boats come and go, see cargo and passenger traffic, and catch the real rhythm of a port city. Departure point if you’re island-hopping from Roxas.
- Plaza Rizal and the City Hall precinct — The civic heart where monuments, street vendors and weekday markets converge. Handy for absorbing local rhythms and catching small festivals or parades if your timing is right.
- Capiz-shell workshops and souvenir row (Baybay & market stalls) — Walkable from the baywalk and market, these family-run shops make lamps, frames and trinkets from translucent capiz shell. Seeing the handwork and buying directly supports local artisans.
- Old-town streets & heritage houses (Araneta / Roxas Avenue area) — A relaxed stroll through pockets of old merchant houses, small galleries and murals that hint at the city’s past prosperity and the everyday stories behind it. Great for a self-guided walking tour away from the waterfront.
