About Mantawi International Drive

Mantawi International Drive is a modern waterfront promenade along the Mactan Channel, transforming a once-neglected area into Mandaue City's premier leisure destination. This riverside development features landscaped walkways, parks, and recreational facilities with scenic views of the water and the bridges connecting Cebu to Mactan Island. The promenade stretches along the channel, offering wide pedestrian paths perfect for jogging, cycling, and evening strolls. Various food establishments, cafes, and entertainment venues line the drive, making it a popular hangout spot for locals and visitors alike. The area comes alive in the evenings when families and friends gather to enjoy the cool sea breeze and beautiful sunset views. Mantawi International Drive represents Mandaue City's urban renewal efforts, creating public space in an otherwise industrial city. The views of the Marcelo Fernan Bridge and Mactan-Mandaue Bridge are particularly impressive, especially when illuminated at night. It's a refreshing open space that showcases a different, more relaxed side of Mandaue.
