Changi Beach Park, Singapore

Changi Beach Park, SingaporeAbout the park : One of the oldest coastal parks in Singapore, this place brings back memories for Singaporeans who frequented this area in the 60s and 70s. The park is 3.2km long with stretches of sandy beaches between Changi Point and Changi Ferry Road.

The beach with pristine white sand extends into the park at places to form a continuous stretch of wide open area dotted with coconut palms, BBQ pits, Park benches and Shelters.

The Kampong ambionse has been carefully retained while jogging track and other amenities were added. Visitors can now jog or cycle along the winding tracks from Changi Point to Changi Ferry Terminal and back.

This is the place where families can gather over the weekends for picnics, swimming, barbecues or overnight camping. Sitting by the beach, you can look out to the sea overlooking Pulau Ubin, enjoy the gentle breeze of the sea, the sways of the coconut palms and listen to the waves rolling onto the white sandy beach. Bring your own food here, or you can get some at the nearby Changi Village.
