Lazarus Island

This guide to Lazarus Island in Singapore starts on its quiet crescent of white sand before tracing its name back to the neighboring quarantine station on Saint John's Island, where ships bound for Singapore were once held and passengers screened for cholera, leprosy, and beri-beri. It follows what the island itself was used for during that era, and the older Malay name it carried before the English one took hold. Cross the short causeway from Saint John's Island to reach this beach yourself.
