Manila Baywalk

Manila Baywalk is a famous open space in the city. Giant kaleidoscopic lamp posts, coconut trees and scenery cover-up the entire stretch besides the Roxas Boulevard. Manila Bay is the harbor which serves the port of Manila (on Luzon), in the Philippines. The entrance is 19 km wide and expands to a width of 48 km. Mariveles, in the province of Bataan, is an anchorage just inside the northern entrance and Sangley Point is the former location of Cavite Naval Base.This walkway lies in front of Manila Bay where visitors can experience one of the most spectacular sunsets of the world.

Across the entrance to Manila Bay are several islands. The largest is Corregidor, which is 3 kilometers from Bataan and, along with the island of Caballo, separates the mouth of the bay into the North and South Channels. In the south channel is El Fraile Island and outside the entrance, and to the south, is Carabao Island. El Fraile is a rocky island, some 4 acres (16,000 m²) in area, which juts up into the southern entrance of the bay. To the immediate north and south are additional harbors.
