A developed seafront strip in Puerto Princesa City providing a scenic place to view the sunset is called the Baywalk, just like in Manila it has its own version. Visiting Puerto Princesa will not be complete unless you vesit this place, a best place to enjoy the sunset in the city. The place comes alive at night as locals and visitors (lovers) hang out here, a nice place to stroll in. There are a lot of food shops and restaurants along the baywalk and a designated area for bike rides. Tricycles are easily available in the vicinity anytime.
It is also an ideal place to jog on early morning or even at night. Actually the baywalk in Puerto Princesa attested to be much more enjoyable, peaceful, and safer than Manila’s baywalk.
Puerto Princesa City Baywalk. It used to be a squatters area but after a fire swallowed the houses of the people, they were no longer allowed to built houses in it. The city turned it to a tourist and local destination to unwind and relax and they developed it to a Baywalk.
The people were of course not taken for granted. The city built a tenement few meters from the baywalk, where they now live in it. They were asked to take care of the place and they were allowed to make a living out of selling barbecues and pasalubong items for livelihood.
It looks prettier in daytime, good for photo ops because you’d be able to see the baywalk clearly, but there are few people at daytime. It looks like just baywalk when you visit it at day. I prefer visiting Baywalk at night time, because it’s busier and people are flocking in to relax, rent a bike and strolling around baywalk.
