Not too long back in Singapore’s dramatic young history (70s) as an independent city-state, Boat Quay was the epicentre of the aquatic trade of Singapore’s economy. What is now rows of F&Bs were godowns (warehouses) and shop-houses. This river mouth was crowded with bum oats and river-taxis, half-naked baled-bodied men transferring cargos between boats and warehouses. Hence, my special love of this place as a local born of how fortunate I am to witness the unbelievable rapid transformation of Singapore.

I recently visited there to watch sunset. On Your left you will find Changi Sailing club, Coachman Inn and Changi beach club. On Your right , you will find boats sailing in the sea. Then you walk through the boardwalk to the sunset point. It is a must watch for sunset lovers.

Had an impromptu wander walk and really enjoyed myself last Wed morning. It's a remote starting point, but you can drive, Grab or take a bus. Yes, this boardwalk starts from the far, far and very end of Netheravon Road - the old Commnado Camp and Changi Beach Club. At 0930hrs, it was a pleasant walk for us passing a few beach outcrops of coastline and sea boulders. These natural features make up what was once Singapore's un-manicured seafront inlets and bays. There are a few gazebo rest areas if you're tired. The boardwalk's starting section won't be easy if you're on a wheelchair because of the few staircases going down to beach level. You're better off starting from the Changi Sailing Club side, which connects onto the boardwalk, if you have baby trolleys or wheelchairs - as its much flatter from there on. We continued past the back of holiday chalets, the wider boardwalk, the abandoned SIA Sports Club and sea-facing parts of the sailing and golf club enclosures, eventually finding a nice open stretch of beach behind the Civil Service Club - formerly Lady Cheshire's Home for the Aged. That's where the finger sculpture on the pictures featured is situated. Eventually, meandered our way up to Changi Point Jetty and Changi Village. Took us about 60 odd min, stopping many many times to soak in the lovely "sea"-nery, if there was a word : ) The boardwalk overlooks the island of Pulau Ubin and apart from the intermittent sail/ power boats and bumboats plying the straits, we saw a rather larger oil tanker cruising by. Think it was heading inland towards the Loyang or Seletar or Punggol port areas for repairs?? This indeed was a throwback to my childhood past when time passed much, much slower. Changi point and village both still retain that seaside charm, though with a few newer buildings. In the past, I'd remember my parents meeting some ex-WW2 servicemen and troops from RAF. They were stationed in this Changi enclave and would come by the Village and reminice about their lives here in the 40s till the 60s. The Changi POW Chapel would also be one of their stopovers. Think there is a model RAF aircraft memorial still standing at the junction of Changi Village Rd and Loyang Avenue. Worth the wanderabout!
