Pulau Seringat, Singapore
Pulau Seringat (GPS: 1.22985, 103.85418) is an island located to the southeast of
Sentosa Island. It is within a cluster of islands known as the Southern Islands of
Singapore.
Pulau Seringat is about 5 km to the south of mainland Singapore. Since 2000, it was being redeveloped by the Singapore Tourism Board as a recreational island. A 800-meter beach was created through land reclamation, with sand imported from Indonesia. A thousand mature coconut trees were also planted around the island to create a feel of a tropical paradise.
In addition to Pulau Seringat, Lazarus Island, Saint John's Island and Kusu Island were also redeveloped. A sandbar was built to link Pulau Seringat and
Lazarus Island, while a causeway connects Lazarus Island with
St. John's Island. This enables holiday-makers to walk from one island to the next.
