Before, people came to Roxas Boulevard, especially in the seawall, just to watch the sunset. Now it's not just the sunset that people love to watch. The whole stretch of the seawall from the US Embassy to the Yacht Club has been transformed to a party place, which is popularly called the Baywalk. Various restaurants and coffee shops put up their small stores here, with tables and chairs left in the open area where customers can enjoy the view and sea breeze. During Friday and Saturday nights, stages are built for bands and performers who provide entertainment to visitors. At night, people come here to have a good time drinking beer or taking pictures. They sit by the seawall watching the large ships and Tennessee Walker, a dining cruise, float on Manila Bay. In the mornings, families come here for a jog or walk along the avenue of coconut streets and eating places. Adding glamour to Baywalk are the colorful posts that look like meteors from afar. Driving through Roxas Boulevard, you wouldn't help but stare at the lively scenes that play along the Baywalk.
