The last of Sentosa Island’s three beaches affected by a major oil spill in June is now ready to welcome visitors for swimming and sea activities.
“The successful reopening of Tanjong Beach ahead of the expected three months is a testament to the joint efforts and close collaboration among the various national agencies,” it said.Water activities at the beaches on Sentosa, the Southern Islands and East Coast Park were suspended after a boat hit another vessel at Pasir Panjang Terminal on June 14, resulting in the oil spill that affected large swathes of the sea around Singapore.
While the cleanup of the beachfront at East Coast Park is complete, not all water activities have been given the green light to resume there. But NParks advised against swimming and primary contact water activities such as wakeboarding and stand-up paddling in the waters.
