A baroque church built in 1857 on the line that once divided two rival barangays, Abgao and Caaga.

Carcel de Malitbog

A watchtower of coral rock and sandstone from 1862, on the shoreline at the end of the old dividing line from the church.

A macro dive site that foreign divers named after Indonesia's Lembeh Strait for its many small underwater creatures.
