Jetties in Singapore

Here are some of the jetties in Singapore where anglers frequent.

Bedok Jetty
Located at East Coast Park near Bedok Lighthouse (which is actually a lighthouse located at the top of a HDB flat), this is a very popular spot for fishing. The area 30m around the jetty is out-of-bounds to all boats so that anglers can fish in peace. I heard that there used to be very good catches here, with people landing BIG stingrays and even sharks! During the weekends, you can see a lot of people jigging for tambans (a kind of baitfish) here. Other common fishes caught here would be garfish (aka todak), queenfish, mackeral, grouper, pufferfish, trevally and catfish.

Labrador Park
There is a jetty here, currently with restricted access due to works going on around the jetty area. Seems like the authorities are shifting some corals around in the sea off the jetty. This is another place for tamban jigging, and I have heard of people catching queenfish and other catches here. Last time I went there, I saw a couple catching squids. A very nice place with a scenic view of Sentosa and the waterways off southwestern Singapore.

Sembawang Park
There is a jetty here too, though it is really small. I just went there to take a look last Sunday, and people were catching crabs. I saw someone with a trevally too. While the catches were quite significant in size, it can be a bit crowded here. And the jetty is not really that long, so if you can cast far, you may just want to cast from the beach at Sembawang Park instead of squeezing here with the rest of the crowd.

Punggol Jetty
Located at the very end of Punggol, where the seafood restaurants used to be. Now, only the jetty is left, with a small police post. Seems like a good place to catch squids. While there is no carpark, the jetty is just right beside (okay, about 20m) the road, so you can just park on the road and walk over to the jetty. It is about the same size as the jetty at Sembawang Park, so it can get a bit crowded.
