Things to Do at Changi Bay Point:
1. Take in the Jeju Island in Singapore Vibes
Most of us can’t pack our bags and take a vacation whenever we want. That’s why we’re thankful for places like Changi Bay Point which gives us a break from the hustle and bustle of the city with breathtaking views.
Unlike Sentosa where you’ll see plenty of ships along the coastline, you’ll find it hard to spot a ship in the ocean at Changi Bay Point. If you’re an early bird, you’ll be able to catch the sunrise and cool breeze that mimic scenes from a K-drama that was shot at Jeju Island.
2. Take Insta-worthy Photos of the Lone Tree
The lone trees at Upper Seletar Reservoir and Jurong Lake Gardens are well known by keen photographers but Changi Bay Point boats a “floating” tree. During high tide, this lone tree appears to be floating in the sea with its roots planted on the shoreline.
There are lots of photo opportunities around Changi Bay Point (ssunrise and sunset are usually the best times for pics) so take out your phones or cameras and snap plenty of photos for the gram. It’s a fun thing to do with kids too (and distracts them from complaining about “boring” walks!)
3. Changi Bay Park Connector: Cycling
If there’s one thing that’s true about Singaporeans is that many of us love cycling, and we’re so blessed to have smooth cycling paths that allow you to journey from one end of the island to another. Changi Bay Park Connector is a 3.5km cycling path that takes you along the eastern corridor of the Round-Island-Route, which spans a total of 75km, certainly not for the faint of heart! Enjoy a scenic view of sand and sea that will hopefully take your mind off the burning sensation in your legs.
4. Changi East Boardwalk: Stroll with a View
Enjoy a leisurely walk along the Changi East Boardwalk that takes you even closer to the water’s edge. There’s a small pavilion with benches so you can give your legs a rest and take in the tranquil view.
5. Changi Beach Park: BBQ & Picnic
Get nostalgic with a kampong ambience at Changi Beach Park, one of the oldest coastal parks in Singapore. From BBQ pits and palm trees to the sun, sand and sea, there is plenty to do with the kids. Let the kiddos play on the beach (bring sand toys) or get your workout in and enjoy cycling or jogging with an unparalleled view. Then refuel at a seafront restaurant and watch the magnificent sunset.
