Why it matters
Why Tanjong Beach is worth your time
The south coast beaches are one of Sentosa's best features: three sheltered stretches in a short distance, each with its own character. Tanjong is the peaceful one.
It is a useful alternative for elders who would rather sit under a tree than watch volleyball. Because the beach is artificial, the layout is orderly: easy access, flat sand and a shuttle on hand. Check the Sentosa site for events before you set out, and bring your own water and shade for a calm afternoon.

Plan your visit
How to experience it
Take the free beach shuttle to Tanjong, since it is the farthest of the three beaches from the monorail. The beach curves in a gentle crescent, with palms and a quieter feel than Siloso. It is more of a place to sit than to do things.
The Tanjong Beach Club is the main draw and is aimed at adults and groups wanting drinks and music. Families who prefer a quieter spot can simply use the public beach. Events and parties sometimes take over the area, so check beforehand.
This is a good beach for a late-afternoon rest, with fewer crowds and a longer view of the sea.
