Changi Boardwalk, Coastal boardwalk in Changi Point, Singapore.
Changi Boardwalk is a wooden coastal walkway in eastern Singapore, running along the shoreline in three named sections: Creek Walk, Beach Walk, and Kelong Walk. Parts of the path sit on stilts built directly over the water, placing walkers just above the sea surface.
The boardwalk was built in the early 2000s as part of a broader effort to open the Changi coastline to public use. Before this, much of the shoreline in the area was not freely accessible to visitors.
The name Kelong Walk comes from a type of traditional fishing platform built on stilts over the sea, once common across the region. Along the path, covered rest areas attract people who come to sit, fish, and watch the water at different times of day.
Entry points are found near Changi Village, Changi Beach, and the Sailing Club, and the path is open at all times. Visiting at low tide reveals the sea floor and the small creatures that live in the shallows, making it a good time to walk the full length.
The Kelong Walk section runs entirely on stilts above open water, which means walkers can look straight down through the boards at the sea below. This type of construction is now almost impossible to find elsewhere in an urban setting in Singapore.
