For Palawan Island of the Philippines, see Palawan.
Pulau Palawan, also known as Palawan Island (Chinese: 巴拉湾岛; pinyin: Bālāwān Dǎo), is an islet located just off the southwestern coast of Sentosa, south of Singapore. It is linked to Sentosa via a suspension bridge. It is said to be the "southern-most island of Sentosa", and hence the southern-most point of continental Asia. [1] However, this is disputed by some who argue that being an island linked to Sentosa by only a bridge, Palawan is not part of continental Asia. It is also apparent that Tanjong Beach, another beach on Sentosa is more southernly than Palawan.
Palawan Island also has two lookout points where visitors can see the Southern islands as well as Sentosa.
