Sea Wall of Davao (Bay Walk)

Waterfront promenade with kitsch statues and good sunset views

Address Matina Aplaya, Davao City

A long waterfront promenade along the Matina Coast, popular with locals in the evenings for the sunsets over the Davao Gulf. The park features an oversized golden replica of Michelangelo's David, a copy of Copenhagen's Little Mermaid, and a small zoo with ostriches and other animals. It's eccentric and a little ramshackle, but the atmosphere is genuinely lively — vendors, families, and couples out for an evening stroll. A good place to stretch your legs and watch the sun go down.
