Manila Bay

  Dating back to the 16th century, Manila Bay plays a vital role in the history and development of the Philippines. Situated along Roxas Boulevard in the Malate district, this natural harbor is renowned for its commercial significance and is a popular spot for both locals and tourists. The bay features a 2.5-kilometer-long promenade, perfect for leisurely strolls while observing the variety of boats and ships coming in and out. Visitors flock to catch the captivating sunsets, especially in the months of December to February when the skies are often clearer. While there, you can explore nearby attractions like the historic Fort Santiago and enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants lining the bay.
