Sentosa Beach, the perfect place for Retreat, the Restless and the Romantic
When I was a young boy, I always pestered my parent to bring me to the Sentosa beach. The fine white sands and the open seas always intrigue me. Now, it’s my turn to be pestered by my two little devils. Perhaps it is in our blood, a family’s gene that is running so intriguingly to the beaches around us.
The excitement my children felt was euphoric (reminded me when I was young) when they realized that Sentosa island has three beautiful beaches: Palawan Beach, Siloso Beach and Tanjong Beach.
Sentosa beach is different from those famous beaches around the world. They have their own character and charm. If you are looking for great waves to surf with your surf board and blue water to trap, you will be disappointed.
Party Beach for the Young and the Restless…
Sentosa Siloso Beach
Hmm…the thought of those bikinis girls at the Siloso beach smacking the ball can be very alluring.
Sentosa Siloso Beach Bikini Bar
I tend to see the beach as more for the young and the restless, where they can party and have lots of fun. With the live band that perform there and the many dining and shopping outlets along the beach, people can get spoilt by the many establishments.
The region popular yearly Zoukout foam party is held at Siloso beach. I was told…the event can attract 15000 people attending from across the region! A mega beach event held in December, you might not want to miss… just remember to jot it down in your diary.
Everyone Can Be a Formula 1 Race Driver…
Sentosa Luge & Skyride
Another activity we tried was the Flying Trapeze. Well…it is really not that fantastic but it helps to explore the children coordination and the fear for height.
Family Beach, Standing Nearest to the Equator…
Hey Dr Jones, where
are you?(Palawan
Suspension Bridge)
I feel that Palawan Beach is more suitable for family. Bring the children to walk across the Indiana Jones likes bridge if you have watched the latest series of the Indiana Jones movie spanning many generation. Hmm…Harrison Ford would, who knows appear before you, fighting those thieves. You can also bring your kids to the enlightening Animals and Bird Encounters. I sure did! And I am very sure your kids will enjoy it…
The Palawan beach offers a more fun and relax environment (perhaps it is due to the beach offer less accommodation and eatery but certainly not less activities)
Up Close and Personal with Dolphin…
Synchronized Jumps by
the Pink Dolphins
The show was fantastic! The children were fascinated by the many stuns the dolphin (Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphin) performed; you get to see them jumping the hula hoop elegantly, dashing out of the water speedily, touching the ball in great height and dancing gracefully on the water. We managed to get up close and personal with the dolphin, stroking and caressing them, the children snapped a few picture with these intelligent mammals and finally my kids were rewarded with kisses from the pink dolphin. The whole episode was like catching up with the world famous celebrities, the only lacking is their autograph…
It a wonderful moment to treasure and my kids really love it. Palawan beach is a family beach which the kids will enjoy going…
Romantic Tanjong Beach…
Romantic Tanjong Beach
Perhaps it is done on purpose. This part of the Sentosa beach is free from the laughter and bustling of the beach goers… A quiet stroll along the coast with someone special will certainly put you in a mood to make more babies (But please does it in the right place, there are park rangers around). Diehards’ romantic will be hard to give this beach a miss.
Unforgettable Music Show Display by the Sea…
Spectacular Laser Display
by the sea
My wife especially enjoy the dramatic effects, seated in an open air gallery comfortably after a long day, she had a majestic view of the performance. The bright laser, jet of water shooting from the seas(my children must have wished they have such powerful water gun with them), fires bursting, accompanied by the beautifully synchronized music and what with the live cast (Oscar and his friends) make the evening really enjoyable and unforgettable.
That laser display looks really freaky (in a good way.) Thanks for your informative posts. I always thought of Singapore of being a bit clinical, but you have made it sound much more personable and interesting that I had originally thought.
