Gateway to Sentosa Island
Get an Islander Card first, if you plan to see all of Sentosa Island’s attractions and avail of 2 SGD to 20% discounts! I’ve carefully studied this before I went to Singapore – the membership card’s cost and the discounts that I’d be getting. Guess what, it’s worth it! Plus nothing beats the feeling of getting discounts!
The monorails are called the Sentosa Express that has three stops – the Sentosa Station, Imbiah Station, and Beach station. We’re supposed to alight at the Imbiah Station but was too busy taking pictures of the view, we alighted at the last station instead, the Beach station.
At the Beach Station, I surveyed the beaches first, to see if they were ok. I heard that Singapore’s beaches were no match to the Philippines’ beaches. The sands were ok, but there’s a big possibility that the waters were greasy, because vessel ships docked a couple of meters away from the shore. Here’s a map of the Sentosa Island:

Whether you’ll be traveling alone, with a partner, with family or friends, Sentosa is a good place to visit. If you’re not into themed attractions or rides, you can always hang out at the beach, or at the coffee shops around the area to read a book or just relax. Or go food tripping at different food kiosks.
To see the whole place, hop on to the buses or trams (trams are more scenic). There are three lines in the bus/tram stations — the red, blue, yellow lines. Each take a different route. And you can easily hop in and out of the bus/tram because it’s free. Just be patient, some stations have longer queues than the others. But every stop has sufficient signage to know which bus or tram you need to take.

If you were to purchase just one ticket inside the Island, get the Underwater World. There are a hundred different species of marine creatures to see!
If you’re in for a a real show, watch the Songs of the Sea!
