Inspired by the retro beach clubs of
yesteryear, Tanjong Beach Club is a
fun and fabulous seaside destination
for those who love to sip on their
mojitos with sand between their toes.
Weekends find bikini-clad revelers
dancing to up-and-coming DJs as
night falls. Try the Sunset Daiquiri
with mango and papaya, and the
Piña Coladas that come in a whole
pineapple. This is a great spot for
daytime activities too, so grab a
group of friends for an afternoon
of beach volleyball, or stand-up
paddleboarding in the cove. Once
you've worked up an appetite, order
the fresh snapper ceviche with lime
and avocado, and the juicy lobster
bun. tanjongbeachclub.com; cocktails
S$19 –23.COASTES
With its rustic Robinson Crusoe vibe,
Coastes is a casual but charming
beach bar and restaurant located on
Siloso Beach. Whitewashed tables
and chairs dot the wide wooden deck
while lush green palms provide some
much needed shade. The atmosphere
is laid-back and relaxed. Come here
for a long lazy lunch with friends and
order an ice-cold bottle of Whispering
Angel rosé wine or a Singapore Sling.
During the month of August, Coastes
holds Jazz by the Beach, where some
of Singapore’s most talented jazz
artists perform on their powdery
shores. coastes.com; cocktails
S$16–17.FOC SENTOSA
This new kid on the block is bringing
Barcelona’s vibrant beach culture
to the sunny shores of Singapore.
The concept of Foc, meaning fire in
Catalan, is the brainchild of Michelin-
starred Chef Nandu Jubany, while the
drinks were dreamt up by mixologist
Dario Nocentini. Try the Never Ending
Summer with vodka, watermelon and
raspberry, or the Thai Massage with
whisky, jasmine and lemongrass.
Swing by for their live music gigs
every Thursday evening, showcasing
local artists including female vocalist
