Pulau Tekong Island

Address: Pulau Tekong, Singapore - access restricted (military island)

Pulau Tekong is an island off the northeastern coast of Singapore that functions primarily as a military training area for the Singapore Armed Forces.

The island contains basic training facilities and ranges used for recruit and specialist training; it is not open for general tourism or public recreation. Civilian access is restricted and controlled by Singapore authorities.

Historically the island had small settlements and limited civilian use, but its contemporary role has been dominated by defense training activities since the mid-20th century.

Pulau Tekong lies off Singapore’s northeastern shoreline, northeast of Changi and separated from the main island by a narrow channel; it is commonly reached only by military ferry services.

• Restricted military use: The island is used primarily by the Singapore Armed Forces for recruit training and other military exercises, and entry by the general public is prohibited without authorization.

Pulau Tekong is used by the Singapore Armed Forces for military training and is not open to the general public. Access requires prior authorization from the Ministry of Defence/Singapore Armed Forces; there is no regular public ferry service.

• Pulau Tekong is a Singapore Armed Forces training island and is off-limits to the general public except by official authorization - do not plan a civilian visit unless you have prior military clearance.
• If you want to view the island, do so from public vantage points on the mainland (Changi area) or on organised boat tours that explicitly allow views; do not attempt to land or approach military piers.
