Best time to visit Rower’s Bay
Singapore is a tropical country where the sunlight can easily burn your skin. Unless you like to get sun-burnt, my recommendation would be to visit there starting from 6AM-8AM in the morning, so you can enjoy the freshness of the surrounding tress and river or 4PM-6PM in the afternoon so you can watch the sunset (~7PM). Any cloudy or light rainy day will do it too.
My recommendation for first timer is to visit the area on the afternoon, close to evening, so you can witness one of the greatest event, when Sun is calling it for the day: sunset!
Things you need to carry with you when you visit Rower’s Bay
These are my recommendation which mostly are optional, but recommended:
1) Camera. Especially if this is your first time visiting Rower’s Bay.
2) Water bottle. While there’s water dispenser in one of the hut, but I do recommend to bring your own water bottle, just in case the water dispenser is under maintenance.
3) Snacks (optional). In case you are hungry while you are on the park. So far there’s no nearby convenient stores found.
4) Umbrella. Bring umbrella in case of raining or to cover you from the direct sun light.
5) Mosquito or insects repellent. During my visit, I didn’t get bites by these insects, but just in case your skin is quite sensitive and to avoid getting bites by mosquitos or alike, then it’s good to bring the repellent.
6) Picnic mat & food (optional). In case you want to enjoy the river while waiting for the sunset.
7) Fishing rod (optional). If you like fishing, this may be a good place. You can fish in the designated place within the park or along Yishun Dam.
