Kayaking/Boating

  • Manila Baywalk: While not exactly a beach, Manila Baywalk offers stunning views of Manila Bay and the city skyline. You can rent kayaks or paddleboats and enjoy a leisurely ride on the calm waters of the bay.

Snorkeling/Diving

  • No water (nearest diving spot is approximately 3 hours away from Manila)

Water Sports

  • Cable Skiing: For thrill-seekers, there’s Republic Wake Park, an inland cable wakeboarding facility located in nearby Pasig City. Experience the rush of water sports without leaving the city!
