Discover the Amazing Secret Beach in Singapore
Singapore has a poor reputation when it comes to beaches. For all the flash and pomp the city-state has, with its towering steel and glass towers, beautiful people and amazing food (to mention but a few), it is notorious for having no ‘really nice’ beaches. There’s perhaps one beach of note in the Sentosa resort world area (where Universal studios is) but even that man-made beach still feels like it’s lacking a certain ‘something’.
However, if you love a good beach, fret not! There’s a brilliant beach you can visit in Singapore, which isn’t even mentioned on the official list of beaches in Singapore on Wikipedia.
The Beach on Lazarus Island
The beach is on Lazarus Island, and it doesn’t even have an official ‘beach name’. It is simply referred to as ‘the beach on Lazarus Island’. Interestingly, it’s probably easier to get to the beach than it is to actually find any information about it online.
How to Get There?
To reach this hidden gem, take a ferry from Marina South Pier (costs SGD$18 / £9 / $14 / €12) to St John’s Island and then walk over from St John’s Island to the beach, which is a short 5-10 minute walk.
What You Need to Know?
The beach is like one of those well-kept secrets that only the locals in Singapore know about, meaning it’s never overcrowded (I’d been there several times while living in Singapore, and it was never crowded). On the other hand, you need to bring everything with you to the island—even water! Although the islands aren’t developed to cater to tourists, be sure to pack your necessities before you go. Additionally, don’t forget the sunscreen; it gets pretty hot, which creates perfect beach weather!
Conclusion
If you’re planning to visit Singapore soon, make sure to explore Lazarus Island and its incredible beach. It’s a hidden treasure that promises relaxation and scenic views away from the city’s hustle and bustle.
