How to get there

The image was taken with a drone above Paradise Island on Sentosa Cove. To get there, I recommend taking a car and following the GPS coordinates. There will be parking along Ocean Way and then you can walk to where I stood to launch my drone. You can also take public transportation (Sentosa Cove Village Bus Stop). I was facing northeast on the grass, right before the docks along the water. Paradise Island will be the island just north of you.

When to go

Best season

All months

Best time

Morning, Mid-day, Late afternoon
Paradise Island in Sentosa Cove will have similar weather conditions every month.
You can photograph here anytime during the day, but I took this photo right after sunrise and I recommend doing the same to capture the bright morning light.

Field tips

Before flying a drone, check and follow local drone regulations and permits. There are many private properties within the area, so make sure you are flying in a permitted zone.
Be mindful of the residents, hotel guests and visitors. Drones can cause many distractions!
Try to get other perspectives of the cove (look downs, angled shots). Between the intricate layout of the islands and the eye-catching blue water, you can create a lot of interesting compositions in this area.
