This is the Punggol beach. We went there after going to the natural hot spring.The beach itself was quite small.... erm ok, very very small compared to east coast park. I think the main activity you can do here is only fishing.
We took bus no. 82 from Serangoon bus interchange and it was a very long trip.
The beach was so ulu that the bus had to go very deep into a forest then when reached the clearing had to make a u-turn then can alight.
We dipped our feet into the shallow waters and later a lot of sand was trapped inside our shoes. We then kinda washed our feet on the steps leading to the sea. ;)
Backtrack a bit, the Sembawang hot spring... why no photos???
We were too happily soaking our feet in the hot water that we forgot to take pictures. The place was very very very ulu as well. We lost our way when going there and actually walked past the entrance. The instructions we found on the web were not useful. It was like "The Sembawang Hot Spring lies off Gambas; Avenue near the junction of Sembawang Road and Gambas Avenue" and "it is very easy to find, there will be a concrete path leading you". There was the junction but 2 concrete paths!! In the end, we took taxi and only paid $2.50 (i.e very near). What an experience... The hot spring entrance is sandwiched between 2 army camps and I can actually take bus no. 980 there... but never mind, since bf cannot. The water was very hot and need to be "dilute" with cooler spring water.
Tip: IF walk out from Sembawang MRT station exit B, go straight then left at first traffic light. walk past a pri school then all the way straight down to a junction. Cross the traffic light to the opposite where the army camp is (will see barbed fences). Walk left (head facing the camp). Straight all the way down until u see a path between the barbed fences. Pls LOOK carefully, don't miss it, heading past it will lead to hdb estates and a bus stop.
