Questions
How far is Singapore from the sea?
Singapore is on the coast: the nearest shoreline is 1.9 km (1.2 miles) away in a straight line. The nearest stretch of coast is in Central, Singapore.
Is that the driving distance?
No. 1.9 km (1.2 miles) is the straight-line distance from the city centre to the nearest point on the shore. The drive to a beach is longer, often much longer, and depends on the roads.
How far is Singapore from the nearest border?
Singapore has no land border with another country, so the nearest foreign territory is across the sea.
Where in Singapore is this measured from?
From the city's centre point (1.2897° N, 103.8501° E). A large city spreads out, so some neighbourhoods are closer to the sea than this and some farther. For an exact figure from where you are, use your own location.
