Nature walk / Birding - Changi Bay Point. 7th and 16th May 2022.

If you ask me what is there to see at Changi Bay Point, I will recommend you to visit its toilet and have to watch the sea from the toilet. 

We started on a sunny morning and ended caught in the rain.
We were lucky that we decided to speed up our walking speed to seek shelter at the toilet which is located further than the Changi Bay Point shelter as indicated in the google map.
Being our first trip here, we do not expect to be greeted with such a great view from a free public toilet in a park.

The toilet were well maintained. It is new, so everything works well.
There is a free drinking water dispenser, and a paid soft drink machine there. 
As for cleanliness , it is important that users made it a point to not dirty the toilet so that it will not be dirty for the next user. Of course the cleaners will do their part to clean the toilet at the appointed time, but if the user dirty it just after the cleaning is done, there is nothing to be done about it and the toilet will be dirty for the whole day.

7th May 2022 Trail between car park 6 and car park 7.
Changi beach car park 7 is located next to the entrance of Changi Bay Point. The day when we visited, it was full, so we drove back to car park 6 to park our car. (1 km away).
Walking is no issue for us, so we parked at car park 6, use the toilet before walking to car park 7. As you can see from the above picture, the trail is well shaded, so for nature lovers, it is also a good place to stroll and spot some local birds here.
The toilet at car park 6 is manageable. However, the toilet at car park 7 was badly choked. 
By the way, car park 6 is free while we need to pay parking frees at car park 7.


Car Park 7, trail to to be beach.
We actually took a wrong walk towards the beach thinking that Changi Bay point should be alongside the beach. We were wrong. However, the scenery here is beautiful. Just like in Coney Island.

Car Park 7, Beach.
Blessed even when we took the wrong turn. The beach is beautiful and water is clear. We were thinking of visiting this place again for sun tanning.
However a friend shared with me that this beach is full of sand flies. She was bitten (Plenty of it) when she was here to take picture of the airplane during air show.

There is actually a properly laid out bridge / entrance to track along Changi Bay Point.
We need to walk towards the main road from Car Park 7 before we reach the entrance of this park. The park has no shelter. So better to equip yourself with umbrellas and raincoat. 

Do look out for the beautiful grass flowers and seeds. Spotted this uncommon spider. 

Singapore weather changes any minute. So it is important to bring along some biscuit while going for a walk here (In addition to raining gear). We were caught in the rain for 1 hour. Lucky we have biscuits with us to ease our hunger while taking shelter at the one and only toilet here.
Somehow we enjoyed the weather when its gonna rain. Cause, the sun will be covered by clouds and will not be too hot.
                                                
Here is the photo video for the trip on 7 May with the weather changes from very sunny to stormy rainy.

Birds were out during the bright sunny day. We enjoyed birding though the heat is hot hot hot.

Here is another photo video on our trip on 16th May 2022. You can see how many types of birds we spotted.

In conclusion, this is a good place to visit if you are not afraid of the sun. Perhaps if you do not like to walk, cycling would be recommended here as well.
