The east coast: Katong shophouses, laksa on East Coast Road, and the sea one block further. This is lunch, not the first morning in the city.
Why go
Come for lunch. In the evening the shore is long and flat, and the centre is out of sight.
Where to stay
Stay only if you want the east and the ride back does not bother you. The river is far.

Joo Chiat runs parallel to East Coast and is the more colourful street. The sea starts beyond East Coast Park, and that is the edge.
