It is still a good place to enjoy sea breeze and sunset, fully accessible to wheelchairs and baby trolleys. However comparing to its opening time, it now looks less maintained and near abandoned.
It used to have sheltered escalators so you need walk little; and now they are all closed for quite long time and blocked by plants. Though you still can choose to walk under shelter.
Smoking is rampant including walking smokers, at least for the evening time I was there (when weather is not so hot). I am not sure the policy there though, but definitely this is not ideal for family travelers with young adults.
One end it links VivoCity. Walking to VivoCity is generally pleasant, except that you will encounter a row of large number of smokers occupying the best spaces at Waterfront Promenade that can enjoy sea breeze and sea view.
The other end it links Sentosa. The experience of entering Sentosa via boardwalk now is like entering a ghost town. Ticket office looks like not operating for a long time (as now it is free to enter); mini-mart is no longer there and it’s empty behind the glass. Especially during day time when it is hot, you may barely see any person. Yup don’t worry, you are entering the correct Sentosa.
You need make decision here: turning left (walk almost straight) to a cave under the big Sentosa sign, or turning right to walk along the buildings which still look like ghost town. My personal suggestion is to turn right for first time travelers, walk under the shelter walkway along the building, and enter the a bit dark looking Malaysia Food Street on the left. The food street may be the very first place still open along the way (and good air conditioned place to take a rest). After passing through the food street, you will arrive at the Universal Studio globe, and finally meet the crowd of tourists.

On our first day we used this broadway to enter Sentosa island. It's a simple 15 minutes walk, walkways are present for those people who are in a hurry. This broadway is built on a strait connecting mainland with Sentosa.

Sentosa Island itself I would just not recommend at all. It is a pain to get there and not cheap once there. We did the Boardwalk for the hell of it. It was ok I guess, beware of the heat! The war memorabilia was interesting. Would advise buying food and drinks from the 7/11
to save money.

Having been to Singapore 7 times and not ever making it to Sentosa on this visit I decided to visit and I opted to walk there from the VivoCity Mall at the Harbour Front precinct of Bukit Merah. I exited VivoCity following the signs in the Mall for 'Sentosa Boardwalk'. At the start of the boardwalk there is some history on Sentosa Island and also a large 'Sentosa Boardwalk' sign. The walk is not that far at 620m in length. It is a pleasant walk with flora and scenic views of the bay and the cable car. There is no charge to walk the Boardwalk into Sentosa and it was worth doing. Coming back to Singapore from Sentosa I caught the Sentosa Monorail from Beach Station to VivoCity Station, again this is a free service.

The Sentosa Boardwalk is a long covered bridge/walkway from Singapore's Vivo Center to Sentosa Island. It takes approximately 15 minutes to traverse the bridge, so it is a long bridge. For those who do not want to walk across, there is a monorail tram that also crosses the waterway from Vivo Center to several different stops on Sentosa Island.
Sentosa is a fun place to visit - there is the colorful Resorts World area, Universal Studios, Beach boardwalk, nice beaches, many nice Restaurants, aerial tramway, shops - lots of things to see and do.

Always a good spot to take a stroll.
Just a short walk from vivo to sentosa and back to vivo after a meal.
A place to relax and chit chat or just looking over the sea in a romantic evening

We went on a Wednesday and not much was open. Apparently everything is open on the weekends like the Aquarium. The cable car was a great way to get there. Tried to play golf there but apparently you need to reserve a couple of weeks in advance.

I didn’t intend to necessarily walk to Sentosa, as I thought you had to go by rail or vehicle, but found out I could when I arrived at Vivo City. Not only did it save the 4 SGD rail fee (which wasn't the reason I actually chose to walk) but it was a very scenic walk with city, water and bush views on the way. It was very enjoyable taking time to stroll along and it gave plenty of opportunities to interact with others on the way and share the experience. The only slight drawback was when getting to Sentosa the signage was a bit confusing but soon worked it out, sort of.

It is from Vivo City to RWS. The broadwalk also has cover and horizontal elevator to make the walk comfortable.

Hi, I lived in Singapore 2 years ago and they were in process of many different ways to achieve this. I do not want to say positively, but if you go to Sentosa Island website they may have current updates.

Hello, If we arrive on Sentosa by the cable car, how far is it to the Boardwalk walk? And how long does the walk take please?
Written 25 May 2016
Hi Laura,
Sentosa Boardwalk connects the Sentosa island to mainland of Singapore. You can either take a cable car to Sentosa from Harbour Front station or walk the way to Sentosa from Vivo City mall.
If you reach Sentosa by cable car and take Sentosa Boardwalk you would walk back to mainland Singapore.
It's about 1km from Sentosa Cable Car station to the 'Sentosa end' of the Boardwalk.
The sentosa boardwalk is under 1km and will take about 15mins if you walk leisurely. There are a few moving walkways along the walk.

If staying on Sentosa then most hotels provide courtesy buses to Vivo City, and once you alight the bus there the Broadwalk is just a few steps away. If only visiting Sentosa then I would suggest leaving the Broadwalk until the end of your visit there, and exiting via the Broadwalk. To get to Sentosa from Singapore take the MRT to Harbourfront station and then take the Sentosa Express monorail. The Sentosa Express costs S$4, or entry via the Broadwalk costs S$1. Once on Sentosa all transport (buses, Sentosa Express and beach tram) are free to use. However, from now until the 28th February entry via the Broadwalk is free of charge on weekends only.
