Between Anda Circle and Padre Burgos Avenue, R-1 is known as Bonifacio Drive. It serves the districts of Intramuros and Port Area and meets Roxas Boulevard in Rizal Park.

Roxas Boulevard

R-1 becomes Roxas Boulevard after intersecting with Padre Burgos Avenue. This section of R-1 passes through Kilometer Zero of the Philippines in Rizal Park. Roxas Boulevard is a waterfront promenade that leads out of Ermita and Malate in Manila into Pasay and Parañaque. It ends at the junction with NAIA Road and Seaside Drive.

Manila–Cavite Expressway

Between the NAIA Road and Covelandia Road in Kawit, Cavite, R-1 is known as the Manila–Cavite Expressway (also known as Coastal Road and CAVITEX). This toll road connects Parañaque with Las Piñas and leaves Metro Manila for Bacoor and Kawit in the province of Cavite.

Covelandia Road

R-1 briefly merges with Covelandia Road until it meets Antero Soriano Highway at the intersection with Tirona Highway.
