Blue sunset as seen at East Coast Park, Singapore.

The East Coast Park is a beach park located on the southeastern coast of Singapore. It was opened in the 1970s, when the government completed reclaiming land off the coast at Katong which extends from Changi to Tanjong Rhu.

The 1.85 square kilometre East Coast Park is the largest park in Singapore, and is built entirely on reclaimed land with a man-made beach, where swimming is possible. The beach is protected by breakwaters, with no other natural features.

The park is a popular place for families and friends to relax and enjoy themselves. The park has barbecue pits, entertainment facilities, chalets, food and beverage, and amenities for sports activities. A cycling and inline skating track runs along the perimeter of the park, which measures at least 20 km long. During the weekends the park is crowded with laughters of kids, as well as cyclists, skaters, joggers, or simply those who just wanna breakaway from the stressful life in Singapore.

In the horizon, a line of ships can be seen, a testament of the importance of shipping industry to Singapore's economy.
