North Bay Boulevard is a 2-kilometre (1.2 mi) long 2-4 lane access road in the Navotas Fish Port Complex of northern Metro Manila, Philippines. It is one of the main roads in Navotas which travels north-south through the southern parts of the city running parallel to Marcos Road (R-10) to the west. The road links the Balut area of Tondo and San Rafael Village in the south to the central Navotas barangay of Bagumbayan South in the north. It was named after its location in Manila Bay north of the Manila North Harbor complex.
The road was built on an artificial island called the Navotas Fish Port Complex, the biggest and oldest fish port in the Philippines which was reclaimed in 1977 during the Marcos administration. The island is bounded on the north by the Bangkulasi Channel, on the east by the Malabon Channel, on the south by Estero de Sunog Apog (Sunog Apog Creek), and on the west by Manila Bay. The 47.5-hectare (117-acre) land became a resettlement site for many urban poor families from Tondo and is now administratively divided into three barangays namely, Bangkulasi, Northbay Boulevard North and Northbay Boulevard South, the city's largest with a population in 2010 of 68,375.
North Bay Boulevard is the continuation of Honorio Lopez Boulevard in Balut, Tondo and San Rafael Village. From the Balut–Navotas Bridge south over the Estero de Sunog Apog, it travels northwest and upon crossing Circumferential Road 3 (C-3), it curves north-northwest and continues in that direction until it reaches Pescador II Street in Bangkulasi village. Between C-3 Road and Pescador II Street, the road serves as the boundary between the villages of Northbay Blvd. North and Northbay Blvd. South. The road continues for a few hundred meters through Bangkulasi until it terminates at the Bagumbayan Bridge over the Bangkulasi Channel.
