Here is some of the man-made attractions the province takes pride of:

• Presing Park is located in Lumang Bayan, Sablayan. The park is a five-hectare park frequented by locals who seek relaxation. Overlooking the sea, the park enjoys cool breezes blowing landwards. At the middle of the park is displayed a 15th century cannon believed to have been used against pirates. A grotto of Our Lady of Fatima is visible at the far end of the park.
• Run by the municipal government, Calawagan River Resort is a one-and-a-half-hectare resort situated on a riverbank at Barangay Alipaoy. Since 1976, it has been operated and managed by the local government, servicing local residents and the visitors from neighboring towns.
