VENTURE TO THE BEACHES
Beaches In Coney Island SingaporeWeave in and out of the little enclaves and forested areas on the island and you'll be treated to mini secret hideaways! Our tip is to follow the main trail as you enter the West entrance of the island and onward to the East entrance near Lorong Halus. Look out for the hidden coastal trails that branch right out from that main trail. We guarantee, it'll be a sight to behold and a great place for sandplay for the kids. Ensure everyone is slathered with tons of sunblock and insect repellent to ward off the sandflies! *Box jellyfish have been spotted in Singapore waters in the recent months. For your own safety, do take precautions before heading to any of the beaches. More information on box jellyfish can be found here.
