Adeline Ee - Singapore LE.jpg

Singapore

Singapore's beaches are not the swim-and-snorkel kind you find in Bali or Phuket — they are urban shoreline parks with a different purpose: cycling paths, family barbecues, sunset views, and Sentosa's beach clubs. The six below cover that full range, and Travjoy's selection focuses on what each does best rather than treating them as interchangeable.

## Which Beach Is Right for You?

- Want a lively beach day with food, kayaking, and bike rentals? → **East Coast Park** — 15km of coastline, the default Singapore beach.
- Travelling with young kids and chasing the southernmost-point photo? → **Palawan Beach** — suspension bridge to a small islet on Sentosa.
- After Sentosa beach clubs, daybeds, and DJ sets? → **Tanjung Beach** — Tanjong Beach Club anchors this stretch.
- Want watersports and Sentosa nightlife within walking distance? → **Siloso Beach** — busiest of Sentosa's three beaches.
- Looking for a quiet spot with old-Singapore atmosphere? → **Changi Beach Park** — east coast, low crowds, planes overhead.
- Prefer mangroves, fishing piers, and family campgrounds? → **Pasir Ris Beach Park** — north-east, more about the park than the sand.

## If You Visit Only One — Editor's Pick

**East Coast Park.** It is the most flexible and reliable beach experience in Singapore — 15 kilometres of connected shoreline with cycling paths, hawker centres, kayaking rentals, and the East Coast Lagoon Food Village within reach of the same stretch. You can spend two hours or a full day here without retracing your steps. It is also the easiest to reach without crossing onto Sentosa. If you want resort-style daybeds and a more curated beach-club setting, swap this for **Tanjung Beach**.


Welcome to Singapore, famously known as the Lion City. The name comes from a legend – a 14th-century prince thought he saw a lion on this island and called it Singapura (Lion City). In reality, no lions ever lived here, but the regal nickname stuck for this modern city-state.

Food & Coffee Shops

Best Time: Weekday mornings or late afternoons are best – you'll enjoy cooler weather and minimal crowds. Avoid peak midday sun and the busier weekend afternoons if you prefer a tranquil beach experience.

Hack: Use the free Sentosa Beach Tram that shuttles along the sand. It's a convenient way to hop between Palawan, Siloso, and Tanjong Beaches without walking in the heat.

Hidden Gem: Climb the watchtowers on the little islet across the suspension bridge. They're often overlooked and offer a fantastic panoramic view for photos or just soaking in the seascape.

Optional tip: Pack some snacks and water. While there are eateries, they can be pricey – a small picnic can be fun and budget-friendly (just remember to clean up afterwards).

Insider Tips

Internal Navigation

Know Before You Go

- Sentosa Express: Take the monorail to Beach Station (last stop). From Beach Station it's a 5-minute walk to Palawan Beach – just follow the signs past the bus interchange.
- By Car/Taxi: Head into Sentosa and park at the Beach Car Park near Beach Station. Note: It's about a 10-minute walk from the car park to the central part of Palawan Beach (or you can hop on the free beach shuttle).
- On arrival: The beach is open-access with multiple entry points along the pedestrian Beach Walk. Look for the Palawan Beach tram stop – a free shuttle tram runs along the shore, which you can flag down to move between Siloso, Palawan, and Tanjong beach areas.

Getting There & Entrances

- Washrooms/lockers/ATMs/cafés: Public restrooms and open-air showers are available at intervals along the beach. Lockers are not provided on the beach, so keep valuables supervised. ATMs, eateries, and convenience stores can be found at nearby Beach Station.
- Baby care/prayer/relaxation: No dedicated nursing rooms, but restroom changing stations are available. No formal prayer rooms on the beach; however, there are shaded pavilions and cabanas which provide rest areas.
- Notable missing or unexpected amenities: Few covered areas in case of rain, so bring an umbrella if weather looks iffy. Also, no free loungers – beach chairs and umbrellas are rented by beach clubs.

Tips

What it is

Once You Reach

Persona Fit

Restriction: Drones are not allowed over Sentosa beaches without special permission, so plan to capture aerial views from the watchtowers instead.

Best time/light: Shoot around 5–6pm for golden-hour lighting on the beach and a colorful sky. Sunsets here can be spectacular.

Angles: For the classic Palawan shot, take a photo facing the suspension bridge from the shore (or vice versa) – the perspective over the water is stunning. Another great angle is from one watchtower looking toward the other.

Extras: If you have a waterproof camera or GoPro, bring it along – you can get fun waist-deep water shots of your group with the beach in the background.

Photography Tips

Yes. The beach has designated swimming zones that are netted and typically calm, with lifeguards on duty during the day. Always heed the safety flags and avoid swimming when they indicate strong currents or if no lifeguard is present.

Is swimming safe at Palawan Beach?

No, entry to Palawan Beach is free. If you're coming via Sentosa Express or car, there's an island admission fee, but the beach itself and basic facilities don't cost anything to use.

Pro Tips

Siloso Beach — A short tram ride west, Siloso offers a more action-packed scene with beach clubs, volleyball courts, and attractions like iFly (indoor skydiving).

Fort Siloso Skywalk — About 5 minutes by tram/taxi, this historic fort area features a scenic treetop trail and WWII-era fortifications for a dose of history with your beach day.

S.E.A. Aquarium — One monorail stop away at Resorts World Sentosa, one of the world's largest aquariums is perfect for a few hours out of the sun, especially for families.
