Changi Point Coastal Walk - Local Travel On A Budget

On the eastern part of Singapore, there many side trips you can do. Making a bumboat trip to Pulau Ubin is one of them, but that requires you to spent 3-4 hours at least and given the current COVID-19 situation, the number of passengers per bum boat are limited, hence are now $4 per person one way. So a return trip will cost each person $8 now. Well don't fret, there are still other cheaper options especially you are out with a large group (due to COVID-19, currently capped at 5 pax), why now try the Changi Point Coastal Walk after catching a good morning breakfast ? Another plus points about this walk is that it is open 24 hours !

What to expect ?

It really depends on what time of day you go and there is plenty of flora and fauna you can see and also take a peek at the beautiful chalet houses that you will be passing by along the coastal board walk and path. If you happen to be there during low tide, do walk at the sandy beach part of the walk and keep a look out for the marine life. For most people you will likely only sea grass but there is often more than meets the eye. Chalets are popular around this area and was for many, a great get away if you are lucky to be able to book one on the cheap. If you don't have such luck, just take a peek at the amazing bungalows !
