The long stretch of national highway, from the US Embassy to a portion just before the Coastal Road to Cavite,
offers a panoramic view of Manila Bay. It is most picturesque in the afternoon when the dying sun emits golden rays and
lends golden tones especially to the towering hotels and office buildings nearby. The renovated bay wall is now a tourist-
class promenade known as Bay Walk Area where stylish benches are propped up for frolicking and where people roam
around for fresh air or jog in early mornings. Being now a popular sightseeing destination, it is among the top 5 tourist
spots in Manila-Philippines.
