Punggol Beach

Punggol Point Park, located in the north of Singapore, is home to Punggol Beach, a beach that is even less well-known. Despite its remote location, this coastal park is well connected by Punggol MRT Station, with a shuttle bus connecting it to the modern development at Singapore's northern tip.

There's also a deserted beach, as well as a jetty, walking trails, and ponds (just follow the signposts in the park). The sand is fine and soft, but there is a large cluster of boulders in the middle that you cannot miss. A great place to get away from the crowds and enjoy some nice sunset views across to Malaysia.

Its soft pale sands have a tropical vibe, backed by lush foliage and bisected by a raised stepped promenade. Punggol Beach is known for its large rounded boulders, which make it a popular photo location.

There’s also a small wooden jetty for those who want to try their luck catching barramundi and other local fish species.

A children's playground and public restrooms are available. Punggol Point is home to a number of well-known seafood restaurants, as well as a number of other attractions.
