Kusu Island

What is Kusu Island?

I'm sure some people in SG probably wouldn't know, but hey, it's a relatively nice quiet island near the more famous Sentosa.

The little known Kusu Island off the Singapore waters. It is a quiet place and is best known for it's one and only attraction. The temple. The temple pays homage to the a well-known chinese legend that speaks about the love of a couple. Every year, people pay homage at the site hoping to have their wishes granted. Sights like coin-throwing and joss sticks are common here in this quiet but busy place.



Some more info on Kusu Island:
Kusu Island is one of the Southern Islands in Singapore, located about 5.6 kilometres to the south of the main island of Singapore, off the Straits of Singapore. The name means "Tortoise Island" or "Turtle Island" in Chinese; the island is also known as Peak Island or Pulau Tembakul in Malay. From two tiny outcrops on a reef, the island was enlarged and transformed into an island holiday resort of 85,000 square metres.

The only downside is that overnight stay on the Island is prohibited.
