Changi Beach is a great favorite among the picnickers
and kayakers. Some simply love to hangout with family
at this popular beach in Singapore.
Changi Beach offers
an opportunity to engage in a wide array of activities
like fishing and jogging. For whom a beach holiday implies
a strict no-no to any kind of physical exertion, watching
the airplanes land by simply reclining on the smooth
sand, can be the perfect option.
For
those whose eyes show a glint at even a passing mention
of the sparkling water and miles of powdery, smooth
sands, the beaches in Singapore are
nothing short of pure temptation.
And when it is Changi
Beach, the temptation gives way to the intense desire
to be there and do that.
The sunrise and the
sunsets are the perfect time to sneak into the beach
to be witness to the beatific sight.
The beauty of Changi Beach conceals a grim history.
During the time of World War II, sixty six Chinese men
were slaughtered by the Japanese soldiers right on the
Changi Beach.
The quiet village ambience is still preserved, while more amenities, such as jogging track from Changi Point to Changi Ferry Terminal.
The wide open area is now dotted with a range of barbeque pits, park benches and shelters.
With its serene and quiet environment, Changi Beach is a nice place for families and friends to get together for picnics and barbeques.
Visitors can enjoy this excellent spot to watch landing planes, as the Changi Airport is located just behind the beach.
Singapore has indeed traversed many miles
leaving behind the bitter memories of the traumatic
days to the progressive nation that it is today.
However
Changi Beach is still strewn with some historical remnants
in the form of the old harbor and the pedestrian bridge
across Sungei Changi.
The serene environs of the beach
hold a special charm for those planning a beach get-together.
You'll get good food at the Changi Village Hawker Centre where is serves both local and western food.
You must try the infamous Nasi Lemak (a Malay dish,rice cook with coconut, with deep fried chicken wings, egg, ikan bilis and chilli) at the International Food Stall.
Do come in the early morning, as the stall often has long queues and you will need to wait for about 15 minutes for your food to be served.
