Unwind in Pawa Beach

  Pawa is just another Hiligaynon word that means liwanag or brightness. If you are looking for a place that is so serene and so peaceful, then the long search is over! You must see Pawa Beach Resort located in Brgy. Pawa Panay Capiz. How to get there? From Roxas City, ride a tricycle in Roxas-Panay terminal located along Legaspi Street for P 15.00.  One of the clean, safe and relaxing beaches around Capiz. No entrance fee. I recommend having a vehicle service rather than commuting and bring your own food to have a budget wise beach visit. Currently the road to Pawa beach is mostly under repair and not so wide. So drive safely and enjoy the trip.
