The perimeter fence along this area is double-fenced, preventing a clear view of the airport. Only the emergency gates have a single fencing. From here, you have a side-on view of runway 20C/02C operations, the entire Terminal 2 and gates D40 to D49 of Terminal 1. However, Changi Airport is designated a Protected Place, hence photographing the terminals, apron or runway is illegal. Parking in front of the emergency gates is also prohibited. This area is regularly patrolled by police both within and outside the airport, who will not hesitate to stop and request you to leave.
Changi Coast Road runs parallel to the eastern perimeter of Changi Airport as well as the main departures runway 20C/02C. However, there are two layers of perimeter fencing preventing a clear view of the airport. Photography along the fence line is not permitted and you will be quickly moved on by airport police. It is also not advisable to park along the Changi Coast Road as you will be obstructing fast-flowing traffic. It is highly recommended that you do not spot or photograph from this location.
The location requires either a car or a bicycle to get there as it is a good 5km to the nearest bus stop and taxis don't usually pick-up passengers from the Coast Road. There is a park connector which is separated from the perimeter fence by the Changi Coast Road with occasional shelters along the path. This park connector offers you a view of the airport as well, but obstructed by the double fencing. It is highly recommended that you DO NOT use this location for photography or even spotting using binoculars etc. You are also advised to comply fully with all police instructions if you encounter police as they can, and will, take action against those who fail to do so.
