Manila Baywalk

Manila Baywalk is a popular leisure center and favorite sunset location for city dwellers. The 2-km stretch of coastline runs alongside Roxas Boulevard, past Manila Yacht Club and bordered by the US Embassy and Cultural Center of the Philippines.

This sidewalk is famous for its golden skies, calm bay waters, palm trees and ornamental plants that sway in the bay’s breezes, as well as for the yachts anchored in front of the harbor’s cafés and restaurants.
