DENR reopens dolomite beach
MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) reopened the Manila Baywalk Dolomite Beach to visitors for two days, starting yesterday.
The artificial white sand beach will be closed for the New Year and open again on Jan. 4, 2022.
Those interested in visiting the beach should first register online with the DENR Manila Bay Dolomite Beach Appointment System (http://denrncrys.online), according to DENR Undersecretary Jonas Leones.
Those who register will then receive a reply confirming their appointment to visit the beach.
“In that way, overcrowding (on) the beach will be avoided,” Leones said.
The DENR also reminded tourists that children 11 years old and below cannot be admitted to the beach, which will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Visitors need to wear a face mask and observe physical distancing. Vaccination cards will also be checked at the entrance. Pets, food, drinks and littering are not allowed at the beach.
The beach was last opened to the public on Oct. 16. The DENR closed the beach on Oct. 24 after authorities failed to control the influx of more than 121,000 visitors to the site.
