CAPIZ.

Generous waterways, mangrove estuaries, and fertile mudflats shape the peaceful rhythm of Capiz. Famed as the seafood capital of the country, the province offers a quiet, grounding experience anchored by natural abundance and warm community hospitality. Here, visitors drift along calm eco-park rivers, enjoy harvests straight from the ocean, and walk through historic town centers built from coral stone and sea glass.

Where Rich Culture Thrives in Bountiful Communities

Coastal Seafood Bounty

Sample an incredible variety of seafood harvested directly from the coastal waters of Roxas City. From steamed oysters and oversized mud crabs to rare delicacies like diwal (angel wings clams), experience seafood served at its freshest in seaside dining pavilions along Baybay Beach.

Floating Eco-Park River Cruises

Board a flat-bottom bamboo raft at the Palina Greenbelt Eco-Park or Cadimahan River. Glide gently through quiet mangrove estuaries while local river caretakers serve fresh meals, demonstrate traditional fishing techniques, and share stories of coastal preservation.

Historic Coral Stone Heritage

Explore the town of Pan-ay to admire the Santa Monica Church, built in 1884 out of coral blocks. Step inside its bell tower to view the Pan-ay Bell—the largest Catholic church bell in Asia, cast from 70 sacks of coins donated by local parishioners.

Capiz Shell Artisanship

Learn about the harvesting and processing of windowpane oysters (Placuna placenta). Discover how these translucent, durable shells are cleaned, cut, and framed by hand to create classical Spanish-colonial window panes, lamps, and decorative home items.
