So Lor and I ventured over to Sentosa on Saturday for some sun, sand and South China Sea. Sentosa Island is located just a 0.5km away from the southern coast of main island Singapore.The island has an area of 5 sq. km and is Singapore's fourth largest island (excluding the main island). Lastly it is the southernmost point of continental Asia. Yeah, at first I didn't believe it as well but after doing some research this fact was validated.
We were told that the Tanjong Beach Club was the place to be; great cabanas by the pool, excellent music, fun crowds. Our first impressions were not what we expected as we were comparing it to the beach clubs in St. Tropez, France (in particular Club 55) but we gave it a chance and enjoyed ourselves. Arriving at the beach club were told that the cabanas by the pool were all booked but after Lor's negotiation skills we were given one.

| Truffle fries, burger and beer |
Pros
- no charge for a cabana or chair
- no minimum for what you ordered
Cons
- overpriced drinks and food
- constant views of tankers and shipping vessels at sea
- mediocre at best service
- MRT, tram and shuttle transportation to the resort / island
Undecided
- music selection which ranged from Mandarin top 20 to hokey remix techno
Something to consider that we can't hold against Sentosa is the inevitable, unavoidable, daily 3pm island thunderstorm that rolls through.
So for the time being it is a check the box location, but if we have a craving for truffle fries, local music and a bucket of Tiger beers (4 for $40) overlooking the South China Sea, Tanjong Beach Club and Sentosa Island is the spot.
