Swap the air-conditioned gym for the shoreline this March as the Sentosa Development Corporation debuts the first-ever Sentosa Beach Fest. Taking place from March 14 to 22, 2026, this nine-day extravaganza transforms the island’s coast into a high-energy carnival featuring beachfront fitness challenges, world-class workshops, and neon-lit evening entertainment. Designed to bridge the gap between elite athleticism and family fun, the festival offers a diverse itinerary that transitions from sun-drenched obstacle heats to late-night DJ sets.
Conquer Singapore’s Only Beachfront Ninja Course
The festival’s crown jewel is a massive obstacle arena designed by Ninja Lab, the island’s premier ninja-style gym. For the first time, enthusiasts can test their grip strength and agility on a professional-grade rig set directly on the sand. The course features two distinct lanes: a beginner-friendly path for those new to the sport and a specialized gauntlet for seasoned competitors looking to shave seconds off their time.
As twilight falls, the arena undergoes a high-stakes transformation into Ninja Shadow Tag. In this nocturnal version of the sport, participants must navigate the illuminated course while evading live “ninjas” in a fast-paced game of pursuit.
Masterclasses with Global Fitness Icons
The Sentosa Beach Fest is leaning heavily into professional sports development, bringing in heavyweights from the international fitness community. Attendees can sharpen their skills through exclusive workshops hosted by:
- Dominic Di Tommaso: An Australian freerunning and parkour sensation known for his gravity-defying stunts.
- William Yoong: A decorated SEA Games medalist specializing in obstacle course racing.
Beyond the workshops, those with a competitive streak can sign up for the Battle Rope Challenge. Partnering with calisthenics festival Defy Gravity, the event offers a lucrative incentive for top performers, with $1,000 cash prizes up for grabs in multiple categories.
Family Playgrounds and After-Hours Entertainment
While the fitness programming caters to the “weekend warrior” crowd, the festival maintains a traditional carnival atmosphere through Adventure Land, an expansive zone filled with inflatable playgrounds. Casual visitors can join pick-up games of beach volleyball and ultimate frisbee, or browse the various food bazaars lining the shore.
Once the physical trials conclude, the vibe shifts to a beach party. Neon-themed nights featuring local and international DJs will keep the energy high until the gates close at 10pm.
