    The highlight of this beach is the island. Very beautiful, lovely water, lovely swimming spot. A bit crowded, but ok. Some beach clubs nearby so a bit noisy as well. Well worth a visit though

    Very easy, flat walk. You can walk under cover most of the way. So quick, not worth catching the express. Nice views across the harbour.

    Amazing place where you can learn the singapore military history. Calm environment with nice views. There are some statues and historical places which reflect some old memories. Need to walk for few KM to cover the area. Recommend to visit when you have whole day free.

    Siloso Beach exceeded my expectations. It’s very close to the Wings of Time Theatre from Beach Station. Before the night show started, I took a walk along the beach and enjoyed the beautiful sunset views. For travelers who enjoy a drink, the beachside bar is a great option and could make for a memorable experience.

    Easy lift access to the top. Nice views. Cool breeze. All flat. And the best part is that it’s free. Definitely worth popping to the top even if you don’t want to explore the fort.

    The weather was scorching hot this afternoon when I headed for Sentosa. But Telok Blangah Hill Top and Mount Faber Park are endowed with dense green forest with tall shady trees that shielded me from the piercing ultraviolet rays. It was windy but amazingly deafening was the cicada vibrating loud noise as I strolled past the thick green vegetation by the hillside. The challenging uphill climbs from Depot Road up Henderson Waves and Marang Trail was exhilarating, exerting pressure on the heart to pump hard and I was perspiring.

    After the boardwalk, I reached Resort World Station intending to board the Sentosa Express to Beach Station, but the queue for the monorail was terribly long. Today is a public holiday and Sentosa is flooded with crowd. I decided to walk to the beach. It was a very short walk passing by the newly opened Sentosa Sensory Scape. From Palawan Beach, I hopped on the free beach shuttle tram to Tanjong Beach.

    Tanjong Beach seems similar to the other two beaches. But I did not see any suspension bridge here. There is a little island not far from the shore and people just swam over to the island. Quite a substantial number of picnickers brought along their pet dogs and strolled with their dogs along the beach. Many ignored NEA advice on the hot weather and lie down half naked directly under the scorching sun. The pulsating music from the beach club added vibrance to the beach scene. Many sat with their friends at umbrella shaded seats or mats beside swaying coconut trees hydrating themselves with beers and drinks. I like the party atmosphere here.

    Took the tram back to Beach station and boarded the monorail back to Vivo City. Back at Mount Faber Peak, saw the latest chrome color and spherical shape 4th generation cable car moving towards the Peak. These latest cable cabins started taking passengers only recently on 20 Mar 2024 at the company 50th anniversary.

    On reaching home, I realised my step tracker had clocked 25 thousand steps. So near yet so far.

    Worth a visit if you are at Sentosa Island. There a couple of towers that you can go up, and get good views of the area. It sits between two beaches and is a nice break from walking along the beach.

    The bridge itself isn't that wide, but two people could walk past each other easily.

    A good place for a quick photo and then go. It’s not a nice beach to hang around on. Such a shame when the weather is perfect for a day on the beach.

    We are regular visitors to Singapore (also having lived and worked there for several years) and are always looking for something new to do each time we visit, so this was a first time visit for us.
    The excellent use of audio visual aids and some hands on activities, makes for a very interesting and engaging time at this museum.
    For me the highlight was the simulation of being on an ancient trading vessel which is caught in a storm. I didn't realise it at first but the floor actually drops as we sink to the bottom of the ocean while our boat is destroyed. Unfortunately the simulation only goes for about 10 mins and then all the fun is over. I think there is potential to extend the program even further to make it even more enjoyable.
    I thought the entry fees were very reasonable. $15 adults, $10 seniors, not sure for children. If you want to experience the simulation, it is an extra $3 (well worth it).
    The museum is next door to the aquarium which is a must see.

    Clean and ontime every time I caught it over the past week. Remember that you need to scan the QCode at your hotel so you are able to catch the monorail back from VivoCity.

    Wings of Time is one of Sentosa's most breathtaking attractions, combining water, laser, fire, and music to create a mesmerizing night show about friendship and courage. Situated on the scenic Siloso Beach, this award-winning spectacle is staged nightly, promising an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.

    Be wowed by spellbinding laser, fire, and water effects set to a majestic soundtrack, complete with a jaw-dropping fireworks display. A fitting end to your day out at Sentosa, it’s possibly the only place in Singapore where you can witness such an awe-inspiring performance.

    What a fantastic service for residents snd visitors to Sentosa Island. The bus system is so easy to navigate. And the drivers are helpful in finding where to transfer. We didn't use the beach shuttle this trip but have in the past and it still looks as good as 12 years ago. Getting to the mainland at Vivo City mall is so perfect
