East Coast

The long shore path of East Coast Park, with ships at anchor offshore, and the beach at Tanjong Katong as it was painted in 1879.

From Marine Parade MRT, follow the signs to the underpass beneath the expressway. The whole park stands on land reclaimed from the sea from the 1960s onwards; the old shore ran close to where Marine Parade Road is now.

Turn east and keep the sea on your right. In most places the path splits into separate lanes for walkers and for cyclists and skaters; keep to the walkers' side. Big trees and casuarinas give shade for much of the way, and there are shelters, taps and toilets at intervals.

Out to sea, dozens of ships lie at anchor, and on a clear day the horizon is lined with them. A little further on, Siglap Canal crosses the park to reach the sea.

Finish at Bedok Jetty, a long pier where anglers line the rails, and walk back to the food village for satay or seafood. The two paintings at the end are from 1879 and show the beach at Tanjong Katong, then a sandy shore with palms and fishing boats, long before the land was pushed out into the sea.
