The province of Capiz shares the northern Panay coast with the province of Aklan. Capiz occupies the fertile Panay river plains, a region which locals refer to as Ilaya.

 

The coast is flat and irregular, with extensive swamps and marshland. Capiz extends towards the southwest into the mountainous interior of the island of Panay. Rainfall is more or less evenly distributed throughout the year and typhoons are infrequent.
