Sentosa is Singapore’s island getaway. One of the key reasons for visiting is the Sentosa beach, or more accurately beaches. With sandy shores, swaying palm trees and cool water, the Sentosa beach conjures up idyllic images of relaxation.
Beyond Sentosa’s beaches, the island has other waterfront areas that are popular with visitors as well. These Sentosa waterfront spots should not be missed out on a visit either.
