We went to Sentosa for a day and passed by the beaches and cafes. It is very nice and calm and there are no waves. They have a zip cord and bunji jump facility which is $150SG per person in this area. They have a free shuttle bus to take you from one end to the other as it gets quite hot walking.

You can have a great day relaxing at the beach. We still enjoy going there, and the sea is lovely and reasonably calm. Do avoid low spring tide, when the water is muddy. However we have seen several changes since our visit in March 2019, and none have made the beach better. Want something to eat? Apart from FOC at the end furthest from Beach Station, there are no other options. Want a convenience store? The one at Palawan has closed, so has the one at Beach station. The nearest are Siloso Point, and Imbiah (under the Sentosa Express station). Not very convenient. We bought snacks from Show Bites, but rather a limited range. Want a locker? New ones have been installed all over Sentosa. They are difficult to use. First you must have a Singapore, Malaysian or Indonesian phone No! Next you have to enter a password and verify it, at that point my wife couldn’t get it to work, and gave up. I think they then must send something to your phone, but they won’t tell you how it works until you laboriously reach each stage. They’re the most complicated lockers we’ve ever seen. There’s a large building site at the Beach Station end of the beach. All work has been stopped (possibly a result of the covid virus). At least it’s quiet, and not much of an eyesore, but it does nothing for the beach. Finally there’s Hydro dash, will it ever open? At least the peace has brought out more animals, we’ve seen an otter, and a monitor lizard, plus hornbills and cockatoos. Sadly the peacocks have all vanished. It’s great for families, with a lifeguard watching over everyone. Toilets and showers are very clean, and free. The disabled will enjoy the step free access to the beach, and the calm water at the sheltered ends. Despite all the problems, we do like the beach. It’s very quiet (no noisy bar music). The sand is clean and soft. Look over the hoardings and there’s lovely landscaping. And the water is lovely and warm, so you can have a relaxing time at the beach. It’s back to how it was in the early 1990s, without all the modern facilities like shops and restaurants!

visited the beach on a weekday morning to find fences, scanning point and rope squares for each group of no more than 5 (some weren’t...). beach was clean, water a decent opaque green (normal for Singapore), and the lifeguards were keeping an eye on things as we heard them yelling at people to not climb on the rocks 100m away. Nice view of the offshore ships in Singapore anchorage (>30 in sight), but no oil and debris, and by coincidence a lot of Air Force planes and helicopters flying up and down too.
