Manila Bay Beach, Artificial beach along Roxas Boulevard in Manila, Philippines
Description
Manila Bay Beach is an artificial beach built along Roxas Boulevard using dolostone material to create a recreational waterfront area. The site provides open space for walking and relaxation within the urban setting of Manila's bay.
History
The beach was established in 2020 by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources as part of a major rehabilitation program for Manila Bay. This project represented an effort to revitalize the waterfront area.
Culture
The beach serves as a gathering place where Manila residents spend time with family and friends, especially during evening hours when the waterfront becomes busy with people enjoying the outdoors. This reflects how city dwellers seek access to water and open space within an urban environment.
Practical
The beach is easily accessible directly from Roxas Boulevard on foot or by car, with public transportation stops nearby. Food vendors and shops along the boulevard provide convenient options for refreshments and supplies during a visit.
Did you know?
The white dolostone surface stands out sharply against the grey urban surroundings and creates a striking visual contrast with the city landscape. This bright material gives the beach an unexpected appearance that catches visitors by surprise.
