Beaches in Sentosa and what makes them unique

There are 3 main beaches in Sentosa – Tanjong Beach, Palawan Beach, and Siloso Beach.  ( and two hidden gems I am including at the end!).

Each one is unique and offers a different vibe and style!

Before I go into the specifics, here is a quick heads-up for the smokers of the group!

IMPORTANT INFO FOR SMOKERS:

As of 1 July 2022, smoking is prohibited on all three beaches in Sentosa.

This is part of Singapore’s smoking prohibition, which has been extended to remaining public parks, gardens, ABC (Active, Beautiful, Clean) Waters sites, and other recreational beaches. 

There are designated smoking spots in all three beaches!
