Ayagao Beach

Just recently, we discovered another strip of coarse off-white sand beach very near the city – Ayagao Beach known as Capiz’ best place located in Barangay Talon. It is a mere 20 minute leisurely ride from the city proper over well-paved roads (until the last 200 meters which is rough road already). The beach faces the Sibuyan Sea and offers a spectacular view of the sunset. Unfortunately, it has the seasonal problem of pesky jelly fish. But the beach and the water is so inviting especially during this summer heat. Read More: https://capiz-best-places-to-visit.blogspot.com/2017/03/ayagao-beach.html

Mabaay White Beach Island in Ivisan is one of the several white sand of Capiz. Located at the western most part of Panay Island which is surrounded by the coastline & reef of Aklan & Sapian, Capiz. It is a small island where some visitors flocked during summer time and powdery white sand of the beach front. The crystal- clear water of this Island attracts many visitors per year and some fishes at the side part of Mabaay Island. This island can be reach by a motorized banca located LA/ Basiao Beach Resort ranging Php 300-500 which depends on number of person. I did not need to dive or snorkel to see the corals up close. I had to do was lower my camera from the banca and takes pictures of the coral. I love being in the beach with friends. You can bring your own foods for lunch by the beach.
