The take
Tanjong is the quiet end of Sentosa and a kind place to stand on a board for the first time. You learn on the sand, paddle the coast as the sun drops, then have one drink at the beach club if there's room.
Meet Kai
Kai is an ISA-certified stand-up paddle instructor who teaches on Tanjong, the quieter of Sentosa's beaches. Palawan has the islet and Siloso has the scene, while Tanjong has calmer water and room to wobble. The sand in front of Tanjong Beach Club is public, so the club is somewhere for a drink afterwards and never a ticket onto the beach.
Highlights
- A beginner stand-up paddle lesson on Tanjong's calmer water
- A guided sunset paddle along the coast, close to shore
- One drink afterwards at Tanjong Beach Club, if there's room

Beach lesson
On the sand at Tanjong Beach: boards, balance drills and your first strokes before you get wet. You won't need closed shoes, and a rash vest helps.

Sunset paddle
A guided paddle along the Tanjong coast as the light goes gold. We stay inshore, and bad weather cancels it, because there's no prize for heroics in a squall.

Wind-down
One drink at Tanjong Beach Club if they have space. It closes at 8pm Monday to Thursday and 9pm Friday to Sunday and on public holidays, so weeknights are a quick one. If it's full, we stay on the public sand, which needs no club booking.
