I had thought that it would be very remote, deserted with very few people. To my surprise, there were lots of people. It's a small park by the beach, but there were many tents. Apparently, these people had the intention of camping overnight. Many were fishing. Loads of children were at the beach, the fantastic playground (in my opinion). Some kids were skating, others were flying kites. Many were barbecueing. Loads of activities. It's definitely full of life. Most of the visitors were Malays though. It's as if Chinese are the minority.
Although there's a beach, it cannot be compared to the East Coast beach. It's small, badly polluted - we found a dead starfish and a dead crab by the water. Probably because it's just beside a shipyard. Most parts of the water edge were dirty, with lots of rubbish: broken pieces of glass, tomato sauce bottlecap etc.
We went there by bus 882. The intervals for each bus trip are rather long - at least 15 to 25 mins - as the place is not exactly very popular. I thought it quite a shame because it could become a mini East Coast Park if the beach is cleaned up nicely. There are some really soft sand at some parts of the beach. It's possible to have a picnic at the beach, with the kids playing with the sand there. In fact, we have the intention of doing just that the next time Coco asks for a picnic or a trip to the beach. The playground with steep slides and swings is a bonus. Hopefully the next time we go there, the playground will still be a playable ground.
