Crocodile spotted in waters off Sentosa, water activities at beaches halted

A crocodile sighting in the waters off Sentosa Cove on Wednesday (May 6) has prompted the suspension of water activities at Siloso, Palawan and Tanjong beaches until further notice.

The National Parks Board (NParks) and Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC) have deployed a joint search team for the crocodile. SDC added that beaches remain open and patrols have been stepped up across the island’s beachfront areas.

This is the second crocodile sighting at Sentosa this year, while another crocodile was spotted in the waters off Keppel Bay last week.

Members of the public are advised to stay calm and back away slowly if they encounter a crocodile, and not approach, provoke or feed it. #singapore #sgnews
