Thus despite is its small size, the city state has some amazing beaches and the ones on the Sentosa Island are the most popular. These are the Palawan Beach, Siloso Beach, and Tanjong Beach. And even though they are artificial – reclaimed using sand bought from Indonesia and Malaysia – these beaches are the some of the most romantic spots in the island. Silovo Beach should be your destination If you and your spouse wish to partake of outdoor activities such as canoeing, skim boarding, mountain biking or rollerblading or check out fashionable dinging and shopping venues.
