{{Short description|Promenade in Manila, Philippines}} {{More citations needed|date=January 2022}} [[File:Manilajf9595 12.JPG|thumb|The Baywalk in [[Manila]] (2014)]] The '''Baywalk''' is a popular seaside [[promenade]] and [[beach]]front overlooking [[Manila Bay]] along [[Roxas Boulevard]] in [[Manila]], the [[Philippines]]. The Baywalk is a two-kilometre stretch from the [[Embassy of the United States, Manila|US Embassy]] near [[Rizal Park]] up to the [[Cultural Center of the Philippines]] just past the [[Manila Yacht Club]]. Several statues of national figures and other notable people can be found in the Baywalk. ==History== [[File:Manila_Bay_beach_(Roxas_Boulevard,_Manila;_09-19-2020)_wiki.jpg|thumb|left|[[Manila Bay Beach]]]] The Baywalk was greatly improved during the administration of Manila City Mayor [[Lito Atienza]] as part of his flagship program "Buhayin ang Maynila" (English: Revitalize Manila).<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Abaya Gomez |first1=JosΓ© Edgardo |title=Waterfront design without policy?

Afterwards, the national government undertook a rehabilitation of the Baywalk after it was destroyed by [[storm surges]]. In 2020, a beach, called [[Manila Baywalk Dolomite Beach]], was constructed along the shores of the Baywalk. The program for creating the artificial beach was launched in January 2019 under the management of [[Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources]] [[Roy Cimatu]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Cimatu counters DOH: Dolomite in Manila Bay not harmful to health |url=https://www.rappler.com/nation/cimatu-counters-doh-dolomite-manila-bay-not-harmful-health/ |access-date=27 January 2022 |work=RAPPLER |date=8 September 2020}}</ref> ==See also== *[[Manila Bay Beach]] *[[Manila Bay]] *[[Manila]] *[[Bay City, Metro Manila]] ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== {{Commons category|Baywalk}} *http://www.philippines-travel-guide.com/manila-baywalk.html *http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g298573-d556733-Reviews-Baywalk-Manila_National_Capital_Region_Luzon.html {{Manila attractions}} {{Parks and plazas in Manila}} {{coord|14.56844|N|120.98293|E|format=dms|display=title|region:PH_type:landmark}} [[Category:Tourist attractions in Manila]] [[Category:Parks in Manila]] [[Category:Redeveloped ports and waterfronts in the Philippines]] [[Category:Buildings and structures in Malate, Manila]] [[Category:Manila Bay]]
