Palawan Beach
Singapore
Palawan Beach, is named after the Malay word “Pahlawan,” meaning warrior or hero. During the colonial period, British soldiers frequented Palawan Beach to protect swimmers from frequent shark and saltwater crocodile sightings. The British erected shark fences known as “swimming pagars” in Malay. Thankfully, these predators are no longer found around Sentosa, making it a safe and enjoyable spot for beachgoers today.
