This is where you will mostly find cheap seafood. You can also dip in the beach if you want to. For lunch, I had blue marlin where half of it was grilled and the other half was cooked a la Sinigang. I also ordered Squid but I wasn't able to eat it as I was having a hard time chewing hard foods due to my mumps.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003ccenter style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003ccenter style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n \u003c/center\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aAQCMOsx2GU/WMUi2lLW7OI/AAAAAAAAIME/AUY7D-t8M7Q02oFpOobP8RCH8bLS-nAnQCEw/s1600/Thing%2Bto%2Bdo%2Bin%2BRoxas%2BCity%2B20.png\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt\u003d\"Things to do in Roxas City\" border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"640\" src\u003d\"https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aAQCMOsx2GU/WMUi2lLW7OI/AAAAAAAAIME/AUY7D-t8M7Q02oFpOobP8RCH8bLS-nAnQCEw/s640/Thing%2Bto%2Bdo%2Bin%2BRoxas%2BCity%2B20.png\" title\u003d\"Baybay Beach\" width\u003d\"640\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tLxbN2ggcyg/WMUiLCP3qSI/AAAAAAAAILk/ndjUElZVsxMI_LQp2CE0qZmDE-zqeJpRgCEw/s1600/Thing%2Bto%2Bdo%2Bin%2BRoxas%2BCity%2B19.jpg\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt\u003d\"Things to do in Roxas City\" border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"426\" src\u003d\"https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tLxbN2ggcyg/WMUiLCP3qSI/AAAAAAAAILk/ndjUElZVsxMI_LQp2CE0qZmDE-zqeJpRgCEw/s640/Thing%2Bto%2Bdo%2Bin%2BRoxas%2BCity%2B19.jpg\" title\u003d\"Baybay Beach\" width\u003d\"640\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003ccenter style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n I didn't have any accommodation booked yet prior to this trip.

I texted my father if he knows any accommodation in Roxas. Luckily, he has a friend that's based in Roxas that was super hospitable! Like, I was able to save some bucks for dinner, accommodation, and even transpo going to Bancal port! That was huge savings!
