Hidden beaches & island escapes

Most visitors don't realize Singapore has secret beaches. Beyond Sentosa's famous shores lie pristine islands with no crowds, no development — just white sand, warm shallows, and the distant skyline as a reminder you're still in a megacity.

1

Lazarus Island

Southern Islands (ferry from Marina South Pier)

Singapore's best-kept secret — a crescent of pristine white sand lapped by turquoise shallows, blissfully free of crowds and commercial development.

2

Tanjong Beach

Sentosa Island (southern end)

The quietest of Sentosa's beaches rewards those who venture past the crowds with a palm-fringed cove and the boho-chic Tanjong Beach Club for sunset cocktails.

3

Palawan Beach

Sentosa Island

Walk across a suspension bridge to a tiny islet marking Asia's southernmost point, then wade back to a sheltered lagoon perfect for families.

4

St. John's Island

Southern Islands (ferry from Marina South Pier)

A tranquil nature retreat with walking trails through tropical forest, tidal pools, and swimming lagoons — an ideal half-day escape with a packed picnic.

Changi Beach Park

Nicoll Drive, Changi

A nostalgic coastal stretch where planes skim dramatically low overhead and golden-hour views stretch across the Johor Strait to Malaysia's shores.
