Changi Beach Park, Singapore Overview

Changi Beach Park is one of the oldest coastal parks in Singapore, situated at the northern tip of Changi. Lined by a palm-fringed strip of turquoise water and barbecue pits, it is a much-visited place for a picnic, swimming and barbecues. It is also a popular overnight family picnic spot, especially on the weekends.

Spread across 28 hectares, the park is host to a variety of dense trees such as Casuarinas, Kicars and Sepetirs, along with some delectable sea-facing restaurants and bounded by two playgrounds. Due to its close proximity to the Changi International Airport, planes can be spotted, flying to and fro. The coastal park is a great sunset and sunrise viewing point - sunrise can be eyed from SAF Changi Ferry Terminal towards the eastern end, while sunset can be relished from Changi Point.

One of the few places in the city-state to retain the village or 'kampong' ambience from the 60s and 70s, the beach park is never overcrowded, with a calm environ - a contrast to the busy and cosmopolitan nature of urban Singapore.
