A member of the public named only as Mr Lin (transliterated from Mandarin) told Shin Min that he passed by the beach near carpark F3 at about 10am.
He saw what appeared to be a body covered with a white cloth on the ground and a bicycle nearby.
The area had also been cordoned off by the police, with officers seen patrolling the beach.
A photo shared by Mr Lin showed at least three police vehicles parked on the road next to the park.

Other members of the public told Shin Min reporters that people often played water sports in the area.
Visitors also took boats out to the sea to fish.
In response to queries from MS News, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said it received a call for assistance at about 7.50am last Saturday.
The body of a 33-year-old man was found along the shoreline of East Coast Park, it added.
He was pronounced dead at the scene by a paramedic from the Singapore Civil Defence Force.
No foul play is suspected, based on preliminary investigations.
Further police investigations are ongoing.
The incident is at least the fifth time a body was found in and around the area in the last four years.
In September 2020, a 42-year-old auxiliary police officer was found dead at a carpark of East Coast Park.
In March 2021, the body of a 62-year-old man was found in the waters off the park, while a 24-year-old man was found floating in the waters in August 2022.
Most recently in December last year, the body of a 20-year-old man was retrieved from the waters off East Coast Park.
