The first station you reach upon entering Sentosa Island via the Sentosa Express is “Waterfront Station.” This station is home to “Resorts World Sentosa,” which is abundant with numerous attractions and shopping facilities, including Universal Studios, an aquarium, and pools.
I visited on January 3rd, and the Christmas season atmosphere was still present.
As of January 3rd, “Resorts World Sentosa” was undergoing major construction.
As a result, the food court and other areas were closed (due to construction). Instead, a food space called “Gourmet Park,” featuring food trucks, was set up in front of the facility.
I then walked to “Imbiah Station” and arrived at the final station of the Sentosa Express, “Beach Station.”
From here, the area opens up to the sea. Normally, when visiting Sentosa, I enjoy various attractions, but this time, being alone, I took my time to explore the island.
One thing I wanted to try was cycling around to see the beaches.
Bicycles could be rented from “GoGreen Eco Adventure,” located near Beach Station, where Segways are also available.
Renting a bike here costs S$15 per hour, which is quite expensive. However, I later discovered that bicycles could also be rented at the Siloso Beach gondola lift “Siloso Point Station” via a QR code, which might be more cost-effective.
Sentosa Island has three beaches lined up from west to east: Siloso Beach, Palawan Beach, and Tanjong Beach, spanning approximately 2 kilometers from end to end.
Siloso Beach is the most familiar to me, with its zip ride station, water sports clubs, and bungee jumping platforms. It’s an area rich in activities.
Palawan Beach seemed more popular for enjoying the beach itself. It’s a place where families can easily enjoy the beach.
Lockers and showers next to the roadside along the beach were easy to find.
This was my first visit to Tanjong Beach, the easternmost beach, which felt very serene and less crowded.
It seems that residential areas begin beyond this point.
Each beach has beach clubs, where you can enjoy food and pools.
I was able to cover this distance back and forth, and if you’re just lightly touring, an hour is enough. Also, when traveling, there’s no need to rush to visit all three beaches.
Note that although there is a shuttle bus running along the beach, it’s often full, and there were many instances where I couldn’t get on despite waiting. I’ve given up and walked several times, so please be cautious.
This trip was a day trip, but if you’re looking to relax in Sentosa, staying at a hotel on the island would allow you to enjoy more attractions. Definitely, give it a visit. With the completion of the construction soon, there should be new attractions to enjoy.
