Before you go

Is the whole jetty at Sembawang Park open to walk on?

Only part of it. NParks has closed a section of the jetty for maintenance until the end of December and asks visitors to use only the open section. A section of the lawn is also fenced off for construction until June 2027, so keep to the beach side.

Is Sembawang Beach safe for a swim?

Check NEA first. NParks' park page carries a notice that NEA has put up an advisory on the water quality at Sembawang Beach and points visitors to NEA's website. It's the only natural beach in the north that is open to the public, so the sand and the jetty views are there either way.
