Manila Bay

Manila Bay is a natural harbour which serves the Port of Manila, in the Philippines.

With an area of 1,994 km2, and a coastline of 190 km, Manila Bay is situated in the western part of Luzon and is bounded by Cavite and Metro Manila on the east, Bulacan and Pampanga on the north, and Bataan on the west and northwest. Manila Bay drains approximately 17,000 km2 of watershed area, with the Pampanga River contributing about 49% of the freshwater influx. With an average depth of 17 m, it is estimated to have a total volume of 28.9 billion cubic metres. Entrance to the bay is 19 km wide and expands to a width of 48 km.
