Punggol Beach is a far cry from the fun-filled beach holiday, with stretches of sand dotted with beach umbrellas and food outlets that ensure a perfect beach getaway for the entire family. Rather, Punggol Beach has a lot to do with the history of Singapore. It has a historical significance that no other beaches in Singapore can boast of.

Punggol Beach is witness to the grisly days of the World War II. During those traumatic days, Punggol Beach was used as the Japanese killing fields. It is owing to this gruesome history that Punggol Beach is often touted as the slaughter beach. Once Punggol was an area filled with pig farms. People used to travel all the way to the end of Punggol to take delight in the renowned seafood by the sea. Punggol Beach, as it stands today is a tidied up beach that is almost abandoned. It is the most rarely visited beaches in Singapore and the reason can be attributed to its inaccessibility and to the fact that many still doesn't know that this beach actually exists.

The road that leads to the Punggol Beach is lined by dense vegetation all along. You might come across occasional vehicles and joggers, but this road practically remains deserted. A memorial tablet erected by the National heritage Board in memory of the Chinese civilians who were massacred by the Japanese soldiers during the Japanese Sook Ching operation, reiterates the macabre event. Apart from its historical significance, Punggol Beach is a perfect retreat for those who crave for some peace and quiet. On the virtue of being almost forgotten, the beach is empty even on weekends. The sand and the waves will be your only company as you enjoy a leisurely saunter along the beach. You can also arrange a beach picnic and enjoy a few perfect moments with your family, leaving the usual hectic life far away.
