    It took around 35 minutes from Marina South Pier to reach St John island by ferry. It tooks around 10 minutes walk from this island to lazarus island. This is a very unspoiled island with very clean and clear beach to swim or sunbathe. You need to prepare your own food, water and picnic stuff. There are no shop here to serve you.😅 Good for picnic, walk, and enjoy the beach.

    A nice quick getaway. Do come prepared with own food, water, folded chairs and sunscreen. Some toilet and shower facilities but that’s about it. As of this posting, Marina south ferry service did allow pet dog aboard. That said, do double check when booking. 😊 walkable to St.John Island. In total spent about 3hrs (0930am-1230pm)

    Island barely has any crowd, the water is clean most of the times and you're most likely going to like it. I would suggest anyone going there to keep waste bags with them, so that the island is kept clean :)

    The water is so clear and the beaches itself at Lazarus Island are the cleanest. So worth the trip. Ferry tickets are affordable too. Just be sure to bring enough food, drinks and everything you need since there are no shops there.

    Beautiful beach. Very rare to see clear blue sea in Singapore! Didn't managed to stay for long though, as the ferry timings are very tight. Only managed to walk 1 round around the island and that's it. No food/drink stalls on the island. Have to pack your own lunch!

    Wonderful island with some beautiful beaches and forests. Not sure who’s idea it was to start installing thousands of lights along the pathways. Massive carbon footprint and totally unnecessary (just because they are solar powered doesn’t mean it’s eco-friendly). Why can’t they leave the island in its natural state? The last ferry is 5.30pm so it’s not even dark when people return!

    I wasn’t expecting island hoping locally can be so fun and create lots of bonding. First time to St. John and Lazarus island. We took the earliest ferry and did slow walk from St. John to Lazarus. “Chop” an area facing the beach where we setup our picnic mat. Its was really a wonderful experience. The water is very clean and clear. Kudos to the for keeping the island so clean.

    St John's Island and Lazarus Island I have been to Lazarus Island once before and it wasn't amazing. But last we went there again Sunday and after a rainy morning the we had a sunny afternoon and I realized why this beach is considered the most beautiful in Singapore: fine sand and transparent turquoise water. We spent a great day there: - "visit" of St John's Island, it's fast, not much to do - see photo of the map of the island - picnic, and with the many tables available to people it was almost a luxury picnic. - Walk to Lazarus Island - 20 minutes - Beach - Hermit crab's breeding - the water was so transparent that you could see them on the sand and they are easily caught - it kept the children busy for 2 hours 😉 How to get there: - Ferry - departure Marina South Pier (cab or MRT next door) - 14 SGD per person - see schedule in pictures - attention there are several ferry lines that go there - Rent a private boat - several hundred dollars Be aware: - You must be ready for anything: rain and extreme heat. - You have to bring everything, no food or drinks on site. - There are potentially jelly fish, but not seen a single one in the afternoon - Don't miss the last ferry (left at 6pm with our company) - 4g is available there! Block your connection if you don't want your children to spend their aprem on the phone! Good news, there are several toilets on the island, and several shelters in case of rain! We saw a lot of diving boat that must be nice to do there too. It was a superb day in spite of the rain of the morning. The children also loved the boat trip which lasts only 20 minutes. We had the chance to leave by ferry and to come back with a small boat limited to 12 persons and much faster.

    Great beach but social distancing not well followed here, there were quite a few groups of over 5 people, and people were not wearing their masks on the ferry while inside the cabin.

    Love the clear blue water. The beach is cleaner than the mainland thanks to an indian cleaner Uncle who sweep and clear the beach of rubbish and seaweed in the early morning. Avoid coming in the afternoon as the sea level goes down from Kusu, rubbish and seaweed will wash to shore...

    Lazarus Island is one bridge after walking from St. john Island. It takes about 15 mins walk to reach from the Jetty at St. John Island. At one end of the Island yoi will see lots of yachts docking near the shore near the sandy beach.

    Good for walking or for a day lazing on the beach! Yes you need to bring all you need and bring back garbage just like in most of the world when visiting an remote beach :)

    Took around 30 minutes by boat to reach here,you first get off at the st John Island jetty, follow the signboard, walk around 15 mins and you will see this hidden beach. For just 15 sgd you can escape the busy life in Singapore, at least for a while. They don't sell anything on this island, so it's better to be get prepared, food, drinks, picnic mat and etc. Overall nice place to chill and get sun tan If you enjoy outdoor, swimming. Oh don't forget to bring a small portable speaker, much more fun.

    Enjoy the nothingness here. Bring a Frisbee, beach ball, swimming board, float, sunblock, shades and you are all good. Have some insect repellent with you will help. Do bring enough trash bag to use, let's help to keep the place as clean and comfortable :) Cater enough time to make your way back to the ferry. If you are behind time, prepared to run! Claps and cheers on the ferry are more fun :D

    Make sure you check where the toilets are located on your way in and bring a bag to hold your trash while at the beach. Lets keep this place pristine.

  • 5/5 Veronica P. 2 years ago on Google
    Cleanest beach in singapore. Really wish more facilities are added here. Plus we met 2 safe distancing ambbs on a island with practically nothing lol. it was really hot with minimal shades, bring your tent, and food and drinks hahaha

  • 4/5 Richard S. 2 years ago on Google
    Fabulous sandy beach and a great place to chill and relax. Load up your picnic basket (don’t forget the mat) and head to Marina South Pier to catch the ferry. You will get off at St. John Island and getting to the beach is about 15 minutes’ walk from the jetty. Didn’t notice any toilet in Lazarus and if you need one; head back to St John Island. Lazarus Island and St John Island are connected by a bridge

  • 4/5 Melvin H. 2 years ago on Google
    Love the sea side ambience of this island but dislike the fact that we are still in pandemic, there are people who party and picnic here without wearing masks.

    Beautiful slice of nature, mostly untouched with no facilities, very much back to basics sort of feel which is a nice reprieve from the general hustle and bustle of Singapore.

  • 4/5 Zahid N. 3 years ago on Google
    Lazarus beach is beautiful small beach in Saint John’s islands. The most outstanding trait of this beach is its crescent shape. This beach is a nice place to take a sun bath as well good for a leisurely swim, owing to its very still waters. This beach being not connected to the main land singapore enjoys less crowd providing privacy and calm.

  • 5/5 Mohd R. 3 years ago on Google
    We visited Lazarus Island on one Sunday. It has one of the best beaches in Singapore. It is also known as Pulau Sakijang Pelepah, is one of the Southern Islands in Singapore. If you intend to stay there the whole day, make sure you have enough supplies. Do remember to bring everything back. Cheers.

    If you need short gate away from city life in Singapore, you can go to visit Lazarus Island the place is quite big for jogging and enjoy the beach. The beach is quite clean and you can do yacht party, swim, snorkeling, water sports in this area. Only 30-45 mins from Sentosa Island.

    The best beach in Singapore... Nice, clean sandy beach with clear water. Some trees for shading. Toilets a bit far. Kids had a fun

    (Translated by Google) We move on foot from pier. Nothing except the beach. By the way, the road near the back cove is not connected, so it is a dead end. (Original) 桟橋から徒歩で移動。ビーチ以外何もない。ちなみに奥の方入り江付近の道はつながってないので行き止まりです。

    (Translated by Google) It's hot and fishing is hard. The lure is rocky, so be careful with the bottom. Rockfish did not challenge. The beach is not fishing. The rest depends on the time of the return ship. (Original) 暑くて釣りはきつい。 ルアーは岩が多いので底は根掛かり注意。ロックフィッシュはチャレンジしなかった。ビーチは釣りにならない。後は帰りの船の時刻次第です。

  • 4/5 FARO L. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Take a ferry to St. John's Island and walk from there. Because a ferry on weekdays is 2 flights a day, you need to be careful about the time. There is no place selling food or drinks, so don't forget to bring it with you. The beach is very calm and beautiful. As it is not crowded at all, it calms down. I wanted to swim, but when I entered the sea, my body was hurting and could hardly enter. It might be Zoea, but there were also others swimming, and I was uncertain because I had no symptoms. There are also a lot of sand flies. I was bitten even though I was using insect repellent. Because there are many mosquitoes, insect control is essential. (Original) フェリーでセントジョーンズ島に行き、そこから歩きます。平日のフェリーは1日2便なので時間に注意が必要です。 食べ物も飲み物も売っている場所はないので、忘れずに持参して下さい。 ビーチはとても穏やかで綺麗です。全く混んでいないので落ち着けます。 泳ぎたかったですが、海に入ると、体がチクチク痛くてほとんど入っていられませんでした。ゾエアかもしれませんが、他に泳いでいる方もいましたし、症状も出なかったので不確かです。 またサンドフライがとてもたくさんいます。 虫除けをしていてもかなり噛まれました。 蚊も多いので、虫対策必須です。
