Siloso Beach is where the action is on Sentosa. This is where you should be if your notion of sand fun includes kayaking, beach volleyball, or even water jetpacks.
Siloso is Singapore's coolest beach, with live music, cafés, and some of the island's best attractions all within walking distance of the sand. Time sun loungers are not permitted on the beach, you are welcome to bring a towel and rest on the smooth sand for a while - albeit this is not the kind of calm beach where you can read a book.Do you want the greatest views in town? The neighboring MegaZip zipline takes you 450 meters over the water and along the shore, providing breathtaking views.

Palawan Beach is the most well-known of the three portions of Sentosa Beach. It's in the heart of the island, at the conclusion of a stunning suspension bridge with viewing towers on both ends. Climb all the way to the top for a panoramic view of the sea, tropical jungle, and coastline. Then return to the smoothest white sand and listen to the waving palm trees all around you as you walk. With tranquil, warm blue waters, this is Singapore's best swimming spot.
Palawan is Asia's closest point to the Equator, providing plenty of photo opportunities. Tanjong Beach is a short walk away, and while it has more attractions and activities than Siloso, it is still much more laid-back. There are many families here, as well as solitary tourists and couples searching for a relaxing spot to relax and enjoy a picnic.

Changi Beach is part of Changi Beach Park, a 3.3-kilometer-long park known for its expanses of golden sand. Changi Beach lacks the hip, modern vibe of Sentosa Island's beaches, which is part of what makes it so special. The region has the atmosphere of a kampong, a typical floating village found throughout Asia. The Changi Ferry Terminal, which is directly near to the shore, is the best way to come to Changi. Despite the fact that crocodile sightings are common, this is nevertheless a favorite swimming spot.

Punggol Beach will feel like a tropical paradise to those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of Singapore life for the day. Punggol has been cleaned up and re-imagined over the years, having been the scene of the 1942 Sook Ching Massacre and later a fairly rural area where wild pigs resided. Today, it provides a peaceful haven in Northern Singapore, where you can sink your toes into the golden sands or have a refreshing swim in the turquoise seas.
The large stones on the beach provide spectacular views as the sun rises and sets over the water, making Punggol a popular destination for photographers and nature enthusiasts.
Punggol Settlement, just steps from the beach, is a neighborhood with many restaurants and cafés, as well as places to hire bicycles, explore the Lorong Halus Wetlands' fauna and flora, and walk along Punggol Promenade (where the Punggol Jetty is located) and Punggol Waterway Park.

For nature lovers, Singapore's many offshore islands offer lots of excitement. Visitors to St. John's Island will be pleased to learn that this includes not just beaches but also caves and mangroves, which may be explored on short hikes.
The beaches of St. John are narrow yet golden and gentle, with an abundance of lovely coral reefs around. They're a terrific location to unwind while listening to the waves breaking on the beach. Swimming lagoons, picnic areas, and a rustic ambiance can all be found on the island, which will appeal to those looking for a more relaxing vacation.
The many free-roaming cats that populated St. John's earned it the nickname "cat island." However, during the last few years, the SPCA's effective trap-neuter-return program has decreased the population to a tolerable level, which is now being watched over by dedicated caregivers.
Because there are no accommodations on the island, St. John's can only be visited as a day excursion. The Holiday Bungalow, a single property that can accommodate up to 10 people, is the only exception.
Things to do: While gazing at those who were immersed in water, I was relaxing under the warm sun and enjoying the cool wind.

Lazarus Island, which is connected to St. John's Island by a bridge, is a well-kept secret and one of Singapore's most secluded beaches. The C-shaped lagoon and one of the whitest soft beaches in the area are only a few minutes' walk from the bridge.
The calm beach is nearly always deserted, especially on weekdays, and is ideal for a stroll or a dip in the pure blue seas.
Picnics are very common at Lazarus. It has lots of shade, thanks to the coconut trees that line the beach, as well as a rain shelter for when it rains in the afternoon. Because there are no facilities on the island (no food, lodging, or bathrooms), visitors should bring everything they need for the day.
Visitors visiting on Lazarus Island can focus on sunbathing, swimming in the pristine waters, and enjoying walks on the beach because there are no entertainment alternatives available, and no construction can be seen. After a few hours of relaxation, return to St. John's Island and rent a boat to explore Kusu and the surrounding islands.

The largest park in Singapore spans for 15 kilometers along the southeastern shore, right up to the ocean. The East Coast beach here, like most of Singapore, is man-made, built on reclaimed ground, and has plenty of sunbathing spaces. Because of the park's vast size, visitors can kayak, windsurf, and swim in their own little section, away from the masses.
If you arrive early in the morning, you'll find tai chi sessions on the beach and plenty of people sitting quietly contemplating the serene blue waters at Bedok Jetty.
This is a terrific weekend destination, with plenty of cycles and walking pathways, beachside eateries, camping sites, and BBQ pits, but if you want peace and quiet, come during the week. Sitting under the swaying coconut trees, it's easy to forget you are only minutes away from a bustling metropolis.
For those looking for a more active vacation, the Xtreme SkatePark, cable skiing, and cycling circuits are offered. There are several beach cafés in the area, and the park even has shower facilities for a quick rinse after a day of sand-playing.

Pulau Ubin was formerly a thriving granite quarry, but when the industry declined, people began to flock to the island for other reasons. Many endangered bird species live on the island, which is part of the Ubin—Khatib Important Bird Area (IBA). Pulau Ubin is also one of Singapore's largest (and last) rural areas, with no urban development or centralized public transportation, with wooden jetties and communities predominating over cement structures.
The island is only a short boat journey from Changi Point Ferry Terminal, making it ideal for a day vacation. The last kampong in Singapore is located here, surrounded by coconut rubber plantations and trekking routes that crisscross the tropical forest.
Pulau Ubin's beaches are tiny and still undeveloped. They're frequently concealed among the mangroves, providing both privacy and spectacular views of the lake.
