Abstract
Few leisure activities have more international than coastal recreation. The rise in demand for such recreational facilities can be seen in the growing number of beach resorts in SEA and the crowds that frequent the more popular coastal parks in Singapore. Planning for coastal parks and recreation has always been a secondary importance when compared to other coastal land uses such that its allocation is a residual derivation. This policy has resulted in the location of coastal parts away from population centres and inaccessibility. Coupled with the "green lungs" policy, most of these areas remain passive. This has resulted in overutilization of coastal parks in the more popular one and underutilization of others. It is time that such policy be revised and accurate focus of demand and formulation of guidelines for its provision be improved upon. Various methods are suggested such as estimating trends for future demands, finding the economic value of recreation and recreational standards for its provision.
