Best Beaches in Singapore

Choosing the best things to do in the Garden City of Singapore is no easy feat as the city has a vast number of impressive attractions, exciting activities and day trips for all the family. Shopping may be favourite national pastime, but Singapore is more than a city of glitzy shopping malls. As a tiny island that lies along the equator, Singapore is also the perfect beach destination for beach bums aching for some sun, sand and surf. Nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts can look forward to soaking up the sun while sipping a summery cocktail. Most of the beaches in existence today are man-made, formed at the edges of newly reclaimed land. The longest beach can be found along the East Coast Park. One of the oldest naturally existing stretches of beach is at the northern end of Changi Beach. Be sure to take the Singapore Cable Car to Sentosa Island aka ‘island of fun’, where most of the city’s beaches can be found. As you behold the 121-foot-tall Sentosa Merlion statue (the city’s national symbol), enjoy the various nature excursions, adventure parks, water parks, the S.E.A. Aquarium, and beach activities. Pose for pictures with parrots! The beaches of Eastern Singapore are more a local experience – great for a pitched tent picnic. Dotted with palm trees, Changi Beach Park is one of the oldest coastal beaches in Singapore. Airplanes jetting across the sky to and from the neighbouring Changi Airport are frequently sighted here – a curious juxtaposition indeed. The beach has historical significance too as the site of multiple clashes between the Japanese and Chinese during The Second World War. Today, Changi Beach is popular with families, couples and anyone looking to enjoy the calm sound of crashing waves. Pulau Ubin — easily accessible via boats from Changi Village — is a serene island oasis with pristine cycling paths and waters that are perfect for kayaking. Here is a definitive list of the best beaches in Singapore:
