Best time to visit
Since Manila Bay is best known for its stunning view of the sunset it is best to get here a few minutes before dusk, which usually starts around 5 to 6 PM. While the baywalk is open all year round it is recommended to visit during the dry season, which generally starts in December until the last weeks of May, as there are fewer chances of tropical storms during these months.
