At this island, you can be a part of number of activities like touring the agricultural ecology of the place, sailing and snorkelling in cades reef, taking inspiration at the Valley Church Beach and go for an Island safari and kayaking in Antigua.

20. Palawan Beach

Since the beach is inside Sentosa, it remains well maintained. It is rated as the best beach and is visited by many tourists. It has good shades to lie down under and decently maintained showers and bathrooms to access after a fun time swimming. The view lets you spot big ships in the distance. On the side of the beach, there’s a suspension wooden bridge that leads to an islet. The islet has two outlook towers which can be climbed to enjoy the scenery. The other side has views of the busy Singapore filled with many commercial vessels. Other Sentosa icons such as the Sentosa Merlion and Tiger Sky Tower can also be visited from here.

How To Reach From Singapore

Sentosa Island is closely located to the main city and is easily accessible by car. Take a 5 minute MRT ride to harbor front and then follow the signs to the Sentosa express to reach the beach.
