Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A place good for Walking, Cycling, Fishing and Skating in the Evening or early Morning. A separate stretch of Pathway for Pedestrians makes it easy for the Pedestrians to walk and enjoy the scenic beauty.
The end of the Jetty is a nice place to watch the Sunset.

One of Singapore’s longest jetties that sits on the southeastern coast stretching some 250m in Area F. It is open to the public and only close when there are military exercises. The beach & all public amenities here are managed by National Parks Board Singapore. Kudos to NParks for keeping cleanliness & serenity at their best, at all times.
TO GET THERE
SBS 401 ply the route of East Coast Service Road and only operates on Saturday, Sunday & Public Holidays. It starts the journey from Bedok Interchange & ply a loop around East Coast Service Road. Do check on SBS401 route and timing on operator’s website. If you’re driving or driven, there are many car parks around. Go for Area F.
There is still a distance that you need to walk from any point to the jetty. So come early to get that nearest lot. Of course the best & glamorous way to arrive is by boat or yacht. But that’ll not happen, I know.
NEARBY
Along the way, there are small shops that sell drinks, snacks and beach stuff. Further down 7mins walk, East Coast Lagoon is where you can whet, indulge or immerse yourself with many food stalls that offer so many kind of food you will be spoilt for choices. There are close to 80 food & drinks stalls there, I think…… but many.
Another kiosk near the jetty is a bicycle rental company that rents out at $7-$20 for different types of bicycles. Fancy a 4-wheeler for 5pax?
There is also a skate & bicycle arena just nearby the jetty’s entrance. This is a professional level skate/bicycle arena that anyone can use for free.
WHAT TO DO
Bedok Jetty is most popular with fishing beginners and enthusiasts; you can see them 24/7. It provides benches and lights for anyone who has an activity there. Why it’s popular? Because it’s clean, well lit, well maintained and the many catches there (big, small, many, none). You can improvise some shades, have a picnic, stage your own ‘unplugged live show”, fish, cycle, jog, wedding photos, bla bla bla. 3 critical things you do not do here. Jump off the jetty, start a fire or damage public property.
For drone pilots, any UAV activities in NParks area are prohibited. Unless it’s paid with approval from CAAS.
The jetty gets hot during the day, really hot. You are surrounded by salt water and definitely feel the heat. It gets unbearable when you have no shades.
Best time of day: Cloudy, sunset or early evening.
Oh, there is nothing to see there really. The horizon is lined up with sea vessels hanging around the waters. Maybe at night, you’ll see the vessels’ light…

I've passed this jetty on many occasions whilst cycling the east coast park route towards Changi Village. A few times I've stopped and cycled out to the end of the jetty. It can get quite busy in the late mornings, but also very hot if it's a sunny day. Not too much to be seen unless you like watching local recreational fishing activities.

A very good place to have a stroll in the evening. We had been there in the late afternoon / evening hours. The Place is well-lit and have good seating arrangement. May be one has to be a bit cautious as cycling is very common and frequent along the jetty.

So if you just want to go to the jetty (really it's a pier), then it would be fairly boring for most. When I went it was in September and it was HOT HOT HOT !!!
I went there because I had a goal in mind...for years, I've been wanting to catch a fish in Singapore while fly fishing. It was just a challenge I had...so every time I went to SG, I would pack up all my fly fishing gear and head to Singapore. Most of the time I caught the big NOTHING ! This time, I went and it was close to the big NOTHING but atleast it was SOMETHING. I caught a tiny little puffer fish which I through back in. After years, I finally accomplish my goal.
While I was there, I met a local fisherman...he said it was really bad fishing that day; it was...most people just catching sardines to use for future fishing trips I guess. It was a fun day out but it really was hot.
If you are just walking around...less than 1 hour will do it...the scenery was not that great (tons of ships waiting to come to shore...I mean tons and tons of ships)
If you are there to go fishing, you probably want to get there early in the morning while the weather is still comfortable and maybe fish until 10 am. I got out there at 7am and fished until 10am...then it was just way too hot after that...
Nice beaches next to Bedok Jetty (pier). I saw some sea otters swimming around and running on the beach...other than that...it's just concrete extending out into the sea with a bunch of fishermen praying to catch a fish ! :)

This jetty is full of fishermen trying their luck at fishing. Hobbyist fishermen come here to fish
Joggers comes for a detour with a view.
Others just come for a seat, hopefully with a view.
But a long time ago, ships (naval vessels) did stop at this jetty. It was functional then. Perhaps still is now.

This is located in between carpark F1 and F2. A popular fishing spot for the locals. Will be a pretty good spot to catch sunset too.

Bedok Jetty was originally built by a local businessman Mr Yap Swee Hong at a cost of $1.5m in 1966.
He built it for the import of scrap metal from the Americans who were engaged in the Vietnam war.
Later it was used as a base for the Singapore Ministry of Defence for military exercises.
. It was also used by the Singapore Navy, Army, and Airforce during Operation Thunderstorm in 1975 to receive the refugees after the surrender of Saigon to the North Vietnames and a military hospital was established to treat the refugees.
Bedok Jetty is now in the public domain and has become a favourite spot for fishers of all ages and sex, men, women and children baiting their hooks and hoping to catch the big one.
The day I was there I only saw the smallest of small fry being hooked, and was a bit disappointed that they were not being thrown back in the hope that they might live and grown to a bigger size.
