St. John Island Currently, there's no interesting place to go for the clean and great beach with resort like feel. So the only option is to go all the way to an island. It's part of Singapore (interestingly, Singapore has 63 islands!); Take the ferry from Marina South Pier and it cost $18/ticket. HIGHLIGHTS - Walking around the island, bring your own bicycle or rent - Discover clean and blue beach - Explore in nature - Visit the Marine Laboratory TIPS - Bring mosquito/insect repellent (not recommended patch type) - Sun screen / beach gear (if you plan to tanned or play in the beach) - Bring your own food because there is no food available even vending machine! - Don't drink too much water because the toilet is so far, only one toilet available for changing/shower - Bring your own tent or equipment for picnic (you can do fishing too) #beachlife #singapore

Peace and tranquility, nice getaway from the urban jungle. #exploresgtogether #stjohnsisland #pinic #greatoutdoor

#winhkflight Saint John's Island also known as St John's is an island in the Straits of Singapore located 6.5 km off the southern coast of Singapore. With an area of 0.41 km², it is the largest of the Marine Park islands which also include the Sisters' Islands and Pulau Tekukor. St John’s Island formerly housed a quarantine station for cholera cases detected among immigrants in the late 19th century and starting from 1901, victims of beri-beri were also brought to the island. By 1930, the island gained world recognition as a quarantine centre screening for Asian immigrants and pilgrims returning from Mecca. The quarantine station was eventually also used to house victims of other diseases, such as leprosy. When mass immigration was closed in the mid-20th century, the island was used to house a penal settlement and also a drug rehabilitation centre, but all that has changed now into something totally different! You will need to purchase the tickets for ferry departs Marina South Pier. $15 for each island (there are 3). You can purchase online too. Make sure you check the schedule so you don’t miss any ferry! I want to travel to Hong Kong to get on their cruise!

📝 Singapore Travelogue part14: St. John's Island 📝 🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️ St. John's Island (St. John Island & Lazarus Island) is a small island to the south of Singapore, about 6.5 kilometers from the main island of Singapore. It can be reached by boat from Marina South Pier, with about 4/5 boat trips per day. 🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️ The development history of the island can probably be traced back to 1901, when it was first established as a quarantine transit station for cholera immigrants. Later, it became a penal colony and a drug rehabilitation center, carrying a bit of a mysterious and dark attribute. 🖼🖼🖼🖼 However, those dark pasts belong to yesterday. Today, St. John's Island is a leisure and holiday resort, at most used as a base for military training/team building. But when there's no one around, wandering around the dormitories on the island, you can still faintly feel the atmosphere of the former quarantine camp 😂 Visited on November 6, 2016

Beautiful and peaceful place to be if you want to get away from the busy Singapore life!#beachlife
