Tanjong Beach lies at the eastern, quieter end of Sentosa Island, a longer walk or tram ride from Beach Station than either Siloso or Palawan. Its sand is fine and pale, kept clean and less trafficked than the two beaches closer to the monorail terminus, and the water is calm and clear-green, sheltered enough for relaxed swimming without the crowds found further west.

Tanjong Beach lies at the eastern, quieter end of Sentosa Island, a longer walk or tram ride from Beach Station than either Siloso or Palawan. Its sand is fine and pale, kept clean and less trafficked than the two beaches closer to the monorail terminus, and the water is calm and clear-green, sheltered enough for relaxed swimming without the crowds found further west. The bay is gently curved and comparatively sheltered from wind, giving it a more low-key, adult-oriented feel than the family bustle of Palawan or the party energy of Siloso. Tanjong Beach Club, a beach club with a swimming pool, bar, and day-bed cabanas, anchors much of the shoreline and is the main draw for visitors, alongside stretches of open sand still free to use without booking a club table. The vibe here leans toward couples and small groups looking for a resort-style afternoon rather than families with young children or late-night partiers. Amenities include the beach club's pool, bar, and sunbeds (some requiring a minimum spend or entry fee), plus public showers and toilets nearby. Reaching Tanjong Beach requires the same route as the rest of Sentosa: HarbourFront MRT station (NE1/CC29), Sentosa Island admission, then the Sentosa Express to Beach Station followed by the Beach Tram, since it sits furthest from the monorail terminus and the walk along the boardwalk takes longer than to Siloso or Palawan. Because of the distance and the beach club's presence, Tanjong tends to draw a smaller, more relaxed crowd on weekdays, with waits for club day-beds building on weekends and public holidays.
