The East Coast Sea Sport Club is mostly geared towards windsurfers, although kitesurfing gear is also sold in the on-site shop and there is usually a crew of kitesurfers hanging around on windy or potentially windy days during the southwest monsoon. The beach is narrow and gets deep quickly, but with the help of an assistant kitesurfers will be able to launch. The kiters typically hang out a little bit to the south of the main area. There is a small outdoor restaurant at the club, open to the public.

This beach works during the Southwest monsoon, which may start as early as June and end as late as September. However, be aware that the Southwest monsoon is pretty weak in Singapore compared with the stronger northeast monsoon. Without good light wind equipment you are unlikely to be able to ride often during the Southwest monsoon.

 How to get there
Transport:
- Car
Access:
- Short Walk


Drive or take a taxi up East Coast Park Service Road to the PA East Coast Sea Sports Club. As of October 2009, the road to the east is closed due to construction, so you can only approach from the west.
