3. Palawan Beach
Of the three sections of Sentosa Beach, Palawan Beach is the most visually famous. It’s located right in the middle of the island, at the end of an impressive suspension bridge with viewing towers on each end. Climb all the way up for 360-degree views of the water, the tropical jungle, and the coastline. Then head back to walk on the softest white sand as you hear the swaying palm trees all around you. This is Singapore’s best swimming area, with calm, warm blue waters.
4. Changi Beach
Changi Beach is part of Changi Beach Park, a 3.3-kilometer-long park with stretches of golden sand popular among the locals. Changi Beach doesn’t have the hip, modern look that you’ll find on the beaches at Sentosa Island – and that’s part of its magic. The area retains the feel of a kampong, a type of traditional floating village common in many parts of Asia. You can get to Changi via the Changi Ferry Terminal, which sits right next to the beach. Although occasional crocodile sightings can be a little daunting, this is still a popular swimming spot.
