The Southern Islands

Sentosa's page lists a ferry to St John's, Lazarus and Seringat Islands, with beaches, coastal trails and sea sports. Kusu Island has a Tua Pek Kong temple that began as a shrine in the mid-1860s.

Sisters' Islands Marine Park covers 40 hectares of reef, and NParks says opening hours differ by area.
