Changi Beach faces east, so it is a natural spot for sunrise. Independent guides also note that landing planes can be seen every few minutes, which makes it a favourite with plane spotters.
Suggested plan
About 6am: Check the sunrise time for the day and arrive 20 to 30 minutes earlier. Take bus 2, 29, 59 or 109 to Changi Village Bus Terminal (NParks lists these for the area), or use a taxi or private-hire car.
6.30am to 7.30am: Watch the sky change over the water and look out for planes descending.
7.30am to 8.30am: Walk the Changi Point Coastal Walk. Guides describe it as about 2.2km, adjoining Changi Beach Park. One independent writer found a section closed by works, so be ready to turn back.
8.30am: Breakfast at Changi Village Hawker Centre, a well-known hawker centre. Stall hours vary, so go with a flexible mind.
After breakfast (optional): If you have time, the Changi Point Ferry Terminal (51 Lorong Bekukong) is nearby. NParks says bumboats to Pulau Ubin usually operate on demand from 6am to 7pm, about $4 per person each way.
Tips
- Bring mosquito repellent for the early hours.
