Siloso beach, Sentosa 2005, Singapore

Singapore's famous island

Siloso beach is a beach on Sentosa island in Singapore. It was my favorite beach during my stay in 2005. I really enjoyed swimming here, although it was extremely hot and I could get sunburned very easily. Singapore lays near the equator and the tropical sun is merciless. The beach is very well preserved, but a lot has changed since my 2005 trip. Actually meanwhile the whole Sentosa island has been heavily modified. I've seen a big construction site during my 2008 trip and wasn't happy about it. Let me show you how Sentosa used to be before they started to build like crazy.

Siloso beach in January 2005:

I was all empty that day, because I went during the week.

Cool deck, where you can drink overly priced drinks.

Small islets along Siloso beach.

Palms.

The water was clear and seemed clean.

Sentosa is very close to the port of Singapore, one of the biggest ports in the world.
