Sentosa Island (which means Isle of Tranquility in Malay) has been transformed into a top pleasure resort offering a variety of activities and tourist attractions.

From Penang Rd (which is across Meridian Mall) we took Bus 65 which route ends at the World Trade Centre. Here you have a choice of taking the cable car or the ferry to cross over to Sentosa Island. (We took the cable car going and the ferry coming back.)

We were right at the time the special Mega Saver Sandsation was offered (S$22.90 per adult, a one-price admission to 13 attractions). Since we arrived almost 11am, we only got to see some of these. Among which were: Volcano Land, the Merlion, Dolphin Lagoon (including the dolphin show), and best of all (to us), Underwater World. Shuttle buses and a monorail are the means of going around the island. So, even if you don't stop at any of the places where the attractions are, you get to pass by them.

       And of course, there are the beaches - a 3.2 km. stretch of sandy white beaches: Central beach, Siloso beach and Tanjong beach, the Dolphin lagoon.
