The boulevard, which runs along the shores of Manila Bay, is well known for its sunsets and stretch of coconut trees. The divided roadway has become a trademark of Philippine tourism, famed for its yacht club, hotels, restaurants, commercial buildings and parks. Originally called ''Cavite Boulevard'',〔("United States Congressional serial set, Issue 5280 - Act no. 1745, Section 2a" ), pg. 417. Government Printing Office, Washington.〕 it was renamed ''Dewey Boulevard'' in honor of the American Admiral George Dewey, who under his command defeated the Spanish navy in the Battle of Manila Bay in 1898. The boulevard was again renamed to "Heiwa Boulevard" in late 1941 during Japanese Home Rule and ''Roxas Boulevard'' in the 1960s to honor President Manuel Roxas, the fifth president of the Republic of Philippines. The boulevard is also an eight-lane major arterial road in Metro Manila designated as Radial Road 1 that connects the center of the City of Manila with Pasay and Parañaque. The arcing road runs in a north-south direction from Luneta in Manila and ends in Parañaque at the intersection of Ninoy Aquino International Airport Road or NAIA Road.〔("Intersection of Roxas Blvd. and NAIA Rd" ).
