Currently under renovation. It can be a park, but not a parking for vehicles, and only commuters and residents can easily visit the place. As of December 2023, Dolomite Beach Park is now open for free. You can see the crushed stone that looks like a corals, stretches across the Bay from the US Embassy to the other side 1 km in length. You can see nothing but pure pebbles, as no garbage and seaweeds around. It is spearheaded the rehabilitation of Manila Bay by former President Rodrigo Duterte.

A nice spot to relax in the city—free entrance, relatively clean, and there are trash bins around to help keep it that way. Guards are present at the entrance and exits, and there are restrooms available. You’ll also find street vendors near the footbridge if you want snacks or drinks. Good for a quick stroll or sunset view without spending anything.
