How Far Is Vela Bay from East Coast Park?

Published 23 October 2026 · Straight-line distances measured on OneMap

East Coast Park at the Doorstep of Vela Bay

Area F of East Coast Park is about 330 metres from Vela Bay in a straight line on OneMap, on the far side of the East Coast Parkway, and the developer’s brochure shows a park connector at the doorstep leading to the park. Bedok Jetty is about 630 metres away, and Area E of the park about a kilometre to the west.

The towers stand on the land between Bayshore Road, Bayshore Drive, Bayshore Walk and the expressway, so the park and the sea lie directly to the south. Walking routes are longer than the straight-line figures in the table.

To the west, the established condominiums of Costa Del Sol and The Bayshore are about 100 and 160 metres from the site, and Bayshore Park about 380 metres; to the north, Upper East Coast Road leads to Bedok and Siglap. Vela Bay is the first private residential development of the new Bayshore precinct planned on this stretch of the coast.

Measured on OneMap (SLA) from the site; walking routes are longer.

What East Coast Park Offers Residents of Vela Bay

East Coast Park is the long coastal park of beaches, tracks and casuarina groves on the south-eastern shore of Singapore, with the longest beach on the mainland. It has a beach for an evening walk, separate tracks for cycling, running and skating, barbecue pits, playgrounds and shaded lawns, and Bedok Jetty, the long pier popular with anglers and walkers, is within a short walk of the towers.

The developer’s brochure counts the park, the park connectors and the gardens nearby among the reasons the area suits an active life, and lists the Aloha Sea Sports Centre, the Laguna practice driving range and Lucky Gardens among the recreation close by.

Food and Clubs along the Coast near Vela Bay

East Coast Lagoon Food Village, the hawker centre at the water’s edge known for satay and seafood, is about 885 metres from Vela Bay, and East Coast Seafood Centre about 1.4 kilometres away. Both are local favourites for dinner by the sea.

For golf and club life, Laguna National Golf and Country Club is about two kilometres from the site, and the Tanah Merah Country Club and the National Service Resort and Country Club are each about 3.7 kilometres away. The East Coast Park guide for Vela Bay follows the park in more detail, and the shopping and dining guide covers the malls and food streets of the East.

For shopping, the developer’s brochure gives Parkway Parade as about four minutes away by car, Bedok Mall about six minutes, Changi City Point about eight and i12 Katong about ten, and the shophouse streets of Joo Chiat and Katong, with their eateries, lie a little further west. These drive times are the brochure’s indicative figures.

Sea Views from the Homes at Vela Bay

The developer’s brochure states that over 70 per cent of the homes at Vela Bay are sea-facing, with horizon-wide views of the coastal waters. The agents’ briefing counts 13 of the 18 stacks as sea-facing and notes that the sea views open up from about the 11th storey of the two 31-storey towers.

The outlook therefore depends on the stack and the storey. The Vela Bay elevation chart places every home type by tower and stack, and the floor plans carry a key plan showing where each stack sits. The Sales Concierge sends the homes still available with the price list on request.

The Seaside Theme inside Vela Bay

The sea runs through the development itself. The name comes from vela, Latin for sails, and the Chinese name, 首航, means the maiden voyage; the brochure sums the project up as first to sail, first in luxury, first on the bay. On the landscape deck, The Vela Pool, the coral terrace, pods and garden and the pavilions named after the parts of a yacht carry the theme, and the landscape architect, Ecoplan Asia, used sail structures, netting and coastal planting.

Off the coast, the brochure records the Long Island vision, which studies the reclamation of about 800 hectares for coastal protection, with a new reservoir, coastal and reservoir parks and land for future homes. Plans under study may change, and the Bayshore precinct guide describes them as the brochure does. Showflat viewings are arranged by appointment through the Sales Concierge.
