[2025 Singapore Attraction] Travel Guide for Yishun Dam (Updated Jul)

#tesaruonbudget Yishun Dam is a little-known local spot perfect for catching sunset views over the sea. It’s calm, breezy, and far from the touristy areas. You’ll find groups of friends, couples, and photographers enjoying the wide-open views. Bring your own snacks or drinks, or grab something from a nearby food court. It’s one of those peaceful, zero-cost places where time slows down and you can truly unwind. A quiet, scenic corner that defines #tesaruonbudget vibes.

#favouriteitinerary Yishun Dam is one of those rare, unspoiled places where time seems to stand still, and for a fleeting moment, it’s just you, the sky, and the endless horizon. We arrived around 4pm to find the place almost completely deserted—like a secluded coastal retreat hidden in plain sight. With the vast reservoir stretching on one side and the tranquil Johor Strait on the other, the open expanse and gentle sea breeze made it the perfect sanctuary to pause, breathe, and simply exist. We weren’t there for sunset, but we’re already planning our return. Even in the late afternoon, the atmosphere carried an ethereal calm—soft waves lapping against the shore, the occasional rustling of reeds, and an unbroken skyline that made everything feel vast yet intimate. We can only imagine the magic when the sun begins its descent, painting the sky in hues of amber and rose, reflecting off the water in a golden shimmer. The solitude here is rare—no crowds, no distractions, just pure serenity. Every now and then, the distant hum of a plane departing from Seletar Airport gently reminded us that the world beyond still moves, even as we stood still. There’s something undeniably special about this place. Perhaps it’s the sheer openness, the untouched beauty, or the quiet sense of escape that makes it feel unlike anywhere else in Singapore. Whatever it is, Yishun Dam isn’t just a scenic spot—it’s a moment suspended in time, waiting to be revisited. Next time, for sunset. How to Get Here: Yishun Dam is located along Yishun Avenue 1, connecting Yishun to Seletar Aerospace. The best way to get here is by car, motorcycle, or bicycle, as there are no direct bus stops nearby. The nearest MRT station is Khatib, from which you can take a short taxi or ride-hailing trip. There’s a small parking area along the roadside, but no facilities, so be sure to bring everything you need for a comfortable visit. #thingstodo #beachlife #travel #seascapes #myitinerary #citydaytours #singaporetrip

#singaporetrip I first came across this location on an article listing the most scenic bus routes to take in Singapore. If you’re on an upper deck of bus 117 or 103, the views to each side appear similarly to the calming waters from that train scene in Spirited Away.Windy, awesome feeling, greenery, best place to enjoy morning and evening and small fish catching.
