Sentosa Island
Sentosa
A resort island at the southern tip of Singapore with beaches, theme parks, an aquarium and night shows. You can even walk to the southernmost point of continental Asia.
Sentosa is Singapore's main resort island, covering about 5 square kilometres. On the west side, Siloso Beach is ideal for water sports and beach bars. In the middle, Palawan Beach has a suspension bridge to a small islet, and the viewpoint on the island is known as the southernmost point of continental Asia. Tanjong Beach, further east, is quieter.
Resorts World Sentosa, near the beaches, is home to Universal Studios, the S.E.A. Aquarium and a casino. Attractions in the area include the Sky Helix observation tower. In the evening, the Wings of Time water and light show takes place.
Getting there: take the Sentosa Express from VivoCity, next to Harbourfront MRT station, or walk across the Sentosa Boardwalk, or take the cable car. Free buses and a beach tram operate across the island.
