East Coast Park is a 9-mile stretch of reclaimed coastline along Singapore’s southeast, open 24 hours a day and lit from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. for evening visitors. Free to enter, it draws locals and tourists alike for swimming, cycling, inline skating, and beachside barbecues.
The park runs along East Coast Parkway and East Coast Park Service Road, with a paved coastal path stretching the full length for cyclists and skaters. Seafood restaurants, hawker stalls, and rental kiosks for bikes and water sports gear line the route, making it easy to spend a full day without leaving the park.
Visitors planning to swim should check current advisories, as jellyfish sightings occasionally prompt warnings to cover exposed skin. The nearest MRT access point is Bedok Station, though many visitors arrive by bike via the park connector network linking East Coast Park to other green spaces across the island.
