A small memorial to Emilio Aguinaldo and Palanan's heyday as the last capital of an independent Philippines fighting against the American occupation. It was built on the site of Aguinaldo's residence, where he was also captured by the Americans on March 23, 1901, a day after his birthday.

A stretch of black-sand beach facing Palanan Bay that forms a sandbar at the mouth of the Palanan River.
A stretch of white-sand beach facing Palanan Bay. Its name derives from the soft sand light enough for human feet to sink through.

A less-visited white sand beach directly facing the Pacific Ocean, on the other side of the peninsula on where Dicotcotan Beach is located.
