Baseco Beach is an urban beach located at Baseco Compound in Port Area, Manila, Philippines.[1] The city redeveloped part of the beach as Baseco Park, using recycled materials such as rehabilitated old lamp posts from other parts of the city.[2]

Despite dangerous coliform levels in waters adjacent to the beach, some Manila residents frequently visit Baseco Beach.[3][4] A communal septic tank was set up to reduce the coliform level waters near the beach.[5]
