Changi Beach Park
Along Nicoll Drive and Changi Coast Road
Singapore
Changi Beach Park occupies an area of 28 ha and is located at the eastern
tip of Singapore along Nicoll Drive and Changi Coast Road. It stretches 3.2km
long 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.
It is one of the oldest coastal parks in Singapore; this place brings back
memories for Singaporeans who frequented this area in the 60s and 70s. During
World War II, it was one of the massacre sites of Chinese males by Japanese
soldiers. On the Nature aspects, one can still able to discover the wonders
of native flora and fauna along the coastal and mangrove vegetation.
From Changi Village, one needs to cross the bridge at Changi Creek to Changi
Beach. 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. You can bring your own food here, or you can get some of the Singapore
best local food at the nearby Changi Village. It has one of the smallest residential
areas in Singapore, well known for its good food (Nasi lemak: Fragrant streamed
coconut rice served with crispy chicken wings, fried fish, peanuts, egg and
sambal chilli) and old shops to shop for your fishing tackle.
The Kampong ambience 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.
