Situated in the heart of Manado, Boulevard Beach is the city’s most popular waterfront
destination — a lively stretch that blends coastal beauty, local culture, and culinary
excitement. By day, the area offers ocean views and easy access to nearby attractions; by
night, it transforms into a vibrant street food hub where locals and travelers gather to enjoy
Manado’s best snacks and sea breeze.
With a scenic promenade, sunset views over
Bunaken Island, and a laid-back atmosphere, Boulevard Beach perfectly captures the
spirit of North Sulawesi — warm, colorful, and full of life.
