Changi Beach Park

Changi Beach Park

The Changi Beach Park (Chinese: 樟宜海滨公园) is a beach park located at the northeastern tip of Singapore.

The 28-hectare Changi Beach Park is one of the oldest coastal parks in Singapore, retaining the "kampung" or village atmosphere of the 60's and 70's. The park is approximately 3.3 km long with stretches of sandy beaches between Changi Point and Changi Ferry Road.

Activities at Changi Beach

Changi Beach is a popular hangout for overnight family picnics, especially on weekends. Those who prefer solitary activities will enjoy fishing, watching landing airplanes, jogging and watching the sunrise or sunset. Sunrises can be viewed from the SAF Changi Ferry Terminal on the eastern end of the park while sunsets from Changi Point. Others may enjoy barbecuing, camping and watersports. In addition, food lovers visiting Changi Beach can indulge on seafood at the nearby Bistro@Changi, or can choose from plenty of different food options at Changi Village.
