Punggol Beach - Singapore's Slaughter Beach

Punggol Beach is a quiet and peaceful beach in the north of Singapore. This beach is almost deserted, probably because of its inaccessibility and not many people know this beach exists.

Bus number 82 is the one and only public transport going to and from this beach. The road that leads to Punggol Beach is lined by dense vegetation all along.

This is also the place where some 300-400 Chinese civilians were massacred during the Japanese Sook Ching operation in World War II time. In 1995 National Heritage Board marked this beach as one of heritage sites to commemorate 50th Anniversary of the end of World War II.
