Coney Island (Pulau Serangoon)

A short, rustic gravel spine through casuarina woodland, Singapore’s easiest taste of off-road riding.

Easy North-East Singapore Gravel ride ~5 km out and back

About this route

Coney Island packs a surprising amount of wild into a small sandbar: a single gravel spine runs gate to gate under casuarina trees, with side paths down to quiet beaches facing the Johor Strait. It feels a world away from the HDB towers ten minutes behind you.

The crushed-gravel surface is rideable on any bike with reasonable tyres and is a gentle introduction to unpaved riding. Bring water and repellent, since the island is deliberately kept bare of amenities, and note the gates close at dusk. Most riders bolt it onto the North Eastern Riverine Loop.

Perfect for: Families, first gravel rides, nature photographers

  • No water points or lights on the island, so carry what you need and leave before the gates shut at 7 pm.

Open Route in Google Maps needs nothing extra. It opens the Maps app (or website) with the whole route already plotted as pins, ready to cycle. The GPX download is useful if you navigate with an app like Komoot or Strava, or a Garmin/Wahoo bike computer. On longer routes Google may smooth a corner or two, since it draws its own path between the pins; the map below shows our fuller route line.
