Sentosa

Sentosa is an island of about 5 square kilometres south of Singapore, with 3.2 km of beaches along its south coast: Siloso in the west, Palawan in the middle with a suspension bridge to an islet, and Tanjong in the east, the quietest.

It is home to Universal Studios Singapore, the Singapore Oceanarium (formerly S.E.A. Aquarium), many family activities and luxury resorts in the forest.

You reach it by the Sentosa Express monorail from VivoCity, by cable car from Mount Faber, on foot along the covered Sentosa Boardwalk, or by private car. Families should allow at least a full day.
