Remarks: East Coast Park is Singapore’s main beach playground and comprises 15 kilometres of beach, walking and jogging trails, bicycle rentals, food centres and restaurants and public chalets and barbeque pits. It is linked through the Park Connector Network to Bedok Reservoir and even to Changi Village in the deep east of Singapore. Apart from the seaside activities, it is also provides a stunning view of the world’s greatest merchant marine anchorage just offshore.

 

It can be very difficult to reach by public transport, but can be nice to visit on a sunny weekday morning.
