Lunch on the beach
Unlike Boracay, the beach in Roxas City is more intimate. It looks more like a neighborhood affair rather than a posh resort community. On one side are the private residences and on the opposite side are the restaurants and watering holes. Behind them, a few meters farther from the sea, are the fields where salted fish dry under the sun.
On our third day in Roxas City, after the bangus harvest, we had lunch at one of the restaurants that dot the beach — Coco Veranda.
The place was packed and we had to be patient. Not a difficult thing to do — the kids immediately ran to the beach and started picking and collecting seashells. Click on the thumbnails to view the photos.

Aaah the beaches of Visayas! The memories that it bring back. I love the pairing of blanched oysters with chicken inasal. Thanks for bringing back such wonderful summer memories from Iloilo.

You know, having grown up in the city, I have no “summer memories” of vacations spent with grandparents in the provinces. And that will always make me feel that I missed a lot during my childhood.
great pictures connie… memories talaga ito! i also brought home some shells like the kids.i think that islet is their Little Boracay or Burocoy as our kind hosts call it. it’s not yet too late to explore the provinces, include guimaras also. ganda dun…
Hi Taj, we wanted to go to Guimaras but the oil spill not too long ago… postpone muna.
