East Coast Lagoon is a man-made lagoon located at East Coast Park in Singapore. There is a barrier separating the sea with the lagoon. This barrier can be opened to allow fresh sea water to mix with the water from the lagoon. The lagoon is currently used by Ski 360°, a cable ski centre. A walkway leads around the lagoon.
The lagoon can be reached by car via the East Coast Park Service Road. A Hawker Centre is located towards the east of the lagoon.
Famous quotes containing the words east and/or coast:
“Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea. The LORD drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and turned the sea into dry land; and the waters were divided. The Israelites went into the sea on dry ground, the waters forming a wall for them on their right and on their left.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 14:21,22.
“Forced from home, and all its pleasures,
Afric’s coast I left forlorn;
To increase a stranger’s treasures,
O’er the raging billows borne.
Men from England bought and sold me,
Paid my price in paltry gold;
But, though theirs they have enroll’d me,
Minds are never to be sold.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
