OHHH Summer!

What better way to start summer than going to the beach. Well everyone thinks of the white powdery beaches of Boracay, Panglao, Phuket or Maldives but why not try Siloso Beach in Singapore. Yes, this small island state is more famous for endless shopping but this time let Siloso Beach sizzle your summer, this might be the “hottest” beach destination this year. Trust me and you will know why. Let me officially open summer 2009.

A slice of paradise right in our doorstep, Sentosa offers a kaleidoscope of attractions and activities. Once you step afoot the island, be mesmerized by the breathtaking beauty of the lush greenery peppered with exciting attractions that will certainly blow you away! It’s a themed attraction, tropical resort, nature park and heritage centre all rolled into one. Soon, it will have Universal Studios Theme Park which is set to open in 2010. Getting here is very easy. Sentosa Station is located at VivoCity Shopping Mall just at the Harbourfront MRT station, you won’t miss it. The cheapest and the quickest way would be the Sentosa Express Monorail for $3. If you have more budget try the Cable Car or the Bus.

Siloso Beach is one of the 3 beaches in Sentosa. It is one of the coolest beach destination this summer, great way to chill, enjoy the sun and the hot Singaporeans. Probably its cheap to go to a gym in Singapore, six packs and bikinis are everywhere, it will really heat you up. You don’t see this more often in Boracay. This is why it keeps me coming back to Sentosa. You just can’t get off your eyes especially when their playing volleyball or frisbee. They night not have parasailing or diving activities, you don’t need them there.

 OPEN FOR MORE PICTURES:

Before you drool, you might want to check out Sentosa’s other attractions like the Underwater World, Dolphin Lagoon or visit historical Fort Siloso. But if you don’t have budget for entrance fee, there’s a free unlimited ride on the trams in the island. You can beach hop from one beach to another. I recommend Imbiah Lookout, there you can see the Merlion, this is what Singapores’ is famous for. Its a great spot for picture taking too.

Did you know that Sentosa is the Southernmost Tip of Continental Asia.

Sentosa can be very expensive, somesay its a “tourist trap”. You can bring bottled water and finger foods on your trip to save money.

Don’t forget these essentials during Summer: 1. Wear shades to protect your eyes 2. Use sunscreen 3. Wear light clothes 4. Bring extra water 5. Always smile 6. Capture every moment, camera
