Siloso Beach opening hours

Beach Patrol Officers monitor the flagged swimming zone during these hours. Swimming after 7pm is strongly discouraged, since the area is unsupervised and tidal currents can be strong.

Siloso Beach ticket prices
Siloso Beach itself is free to enter, with no admission ticket for the beach. Reaching Sentosa Island, however, carries a separate cost depending on transport.
The Sentosa Express monorail costs S$4 per person and covers island admission for the day. Driving in via the Sentosa Gateway costs S$6 per car from 7am to noon and 2pm to 5pm, dropping to S$2 at other times. Walking in via the Sentosa Boardwalk from VivoCity, or taking Bus 123, carries no extra admission charge.
Admission and transport costs were checked on the official Sentosa website and last updated in July 2026.
Since the beach itself has no ticket, it does not feature directly in paid city pass schemes. Nearby paid attractions covered by passes such as the Go City Singapore All-Inclusive Pass include the Singapore Cable Car, Skyline Luge Sentosa, and Universal Studios Singapore.

How long to spend at Siloso Beach
Most visitors spend half a day to a full day at Siloso Beach. This allows time for swimming, sunbathing, and at least one adventure activity.
Visitors combining the beach with activities such as Mega Adventure Park or iFly Singapore should allow extra time. Evenings are popular for dinner and Wings of Time nearby.
Accessibility at Siloso Beach
Beach Station is wheelchair accessible, with lifts and ramps connecting to the Beach Walk path. Most tram stops along the route have a small step, so the Beach Tram is not fully wheelchair accessible.
Visitors with mobility needs may find it easier to walk the paved Beach Walk directly from Beach Station. Sentosa publishes a dedicated access guide for Siloso Beach on its official website.
What to see at Siloso Beach
Siloso Beach has a lively, social atmosphere, with beach bars, restaurants, and volleyball courts lining the shore. It is often described as Sentosa’s most energetic beach.
The flagged swimming lagoon offers calm, supervised waters during opening hours. Beyond the beach, visitors can watch container ships passing through the nearby shipping channel.
Mega Adventure Park offers zip-lining, climbing, and a giant swing right on the beachfront. Nearby, Fort Siloso and its skywalk trace Singapore’s coastal military history.
After dark, Wings of Time, a nightly light and water show, takes place on the beach. Beach clubs and bars keep the area active well into the evening.
