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:
“I know no East or West, North or South, when it comes to my class fighting the battle for justice. If it is my fortune to live to see the industrial chain broken from every workingman’s child in America, and if then there is one black child in Africa in bondage, there shall I go.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
“The Boston papers had never told me that there were seals in the harbor. I had always associated these with the Esquimaux and other outlandish people. Yet from the parlor windows all along the coast you may see families of them sporting on the flats. They were as strange to me as the merman would be. Ladies who never walk in the woods, sail over the sea. To go to sea! Why, it is to have the experience of Noah,—to realize the deluge. Every vessel is an ark.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
