I wished I read it before heading there. <br /><br />If walking and not cycling, I think it's better to enter via West Entrance then explore half the island and leave by the same gate. The East Gate is far and there's a long walk out of Lorong Halus Wetlands to public transport. Together with the zigzagging to explore the island and exiting via East Gate to the bus stop, I walked 12km...<br /><br />It was still great fun and I had to make a short clip. <br /><br />http://youtu.be/-TA__RsxKKY<br /><br />Next time, going back to find the bull and otters.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18304668889730085237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11222374.post-11572338507280688672015-11-28T04:44:24.894+08:002015-11-28T04:44:24.894+08:00Visited it with my husband and do the cycling only...Visited it with my husband and do the cycling only passing Coney Island as it was cloudly.

May I know if you guys left Coney Island via the East Entrance at Pasir Ris, or did you guys walked back to the West Entrance?<br /><br />Because I want to explore the whole of Coney Island but I saw that the East Entrance is really inaccessible. And if we wanted to go from the West Entrance to East Entrance to exit there, the East Entrance doesnt have any public transport nearby. <br /><br />So did you travel allll the way back?

Unlike mosquito bites, the bites only start to appear after one or two days, and itch terribly after a few days.

I went there with my 3-yo son yesterday and hang around at the beach (Area A, the nearest to the West Entrance) for a while before continuing cycling. A bit afraid since we didn't wear long pants and didn't put insect repellant (my bad!).IndraPrhttp://instagram.com/indraprnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11222374.post-41980250948255582272015-10-14T17:14:37.968+08:002015-10-14T17:14:37.968+08:00Hi Shanmugam,
Thanks for taking time to leave you...Hi Shanmugam,<br /><br />Thanks for taking time to leave your thoughts.<br /><br />You are right, the sandflies are a killer. I was also bitten more than 20 times on my legs. BUT surprisingly, my kids were not bitten much. My daughter only had 1 bite while the boys had less than 5. My guess is probably because they were shin-deep in the sea while I was walking around the beach taking photos.<br /><br />But I agree that should families wish to prevent getting bitten from sandflies, they should avoid the beach areas altogether. Else, it is important to spray insect repellant and perhaps wear long track pants too.<br /><br />Cheekiemonkieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559459748187375672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11222374.post-13573670650602714432015-10-14T16:54:26.478+08:002015-10-14T16:54:26.478+08:00We were there on Sunday and got bitten by Sandflie...We were there on Sunday and got bitten by Sandflies very badly. My advice to all KEEP AWAY from the beaches.<br /><br />The itch from Sandfly is unbearable and lasts very long. The intensity of the itch is several times that of Mosquito. Can cause you lot of trouble.<br /><br />I have more than 40 bites and can tell, this is NO joke.<br /><br />Remedy: Pour HOT water over the bites for few minutes and put Calamine lotion. Initially, you have to do that every hour and over time you know when. <br /><br />Its 4th day and now I do every 3 to 4 hours. Still bad.<br /><br />DONT scratch, it will make it worse and leave bad scar. <br /><br />Spread the word so we can avoid others from this horrible experience.Shanmugamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11222374.post-46062370861911276732015-10-12T15:35:43.983+08:002015-10-12T15:35:43.983+08:00Hi Bryan,
