Punggol Beach

That this was the site of the Sook Ching Massacre in 1942 is impossible to ignore – there is a on-site heritage marker detailing the tragic event – still, this stretch of beach in Northern Singapore is a gem. The sand is fine and soft, there’s a collection of boulders (which makes for great photos), and it’s often deserted, even though it’s located close to Punggol Waterway Park.
