Known forSouthern Islandshistorynaturecalm water
St John's Island is a peaceful retreat in Singapore's southern waters, offering two lagoon beaches with calm, sheltered water suitable for swimming and wading. The island has a fascinating history as a quarantine station and detention centre, and the marine research facilities add an educational dimension. Caveat: facilities are basic and the ferry runs on a limited schedule, so it suits those who enjoy a slow, exploratory day rather than a polished beach resort experience.
