Lazarus Island is by far one of Singapore’s best-kept secrets. With so many fun things to do on Lazarus Island, it is no wonder that so many people are flocking to this beach retreat for a weekend getaway trip to remember.
Despite this picturesque paradise being only a stone’s throw away from the mainland, that doesn’t mean that no planning is required. You would likely have tons of questions about how to get there and what is available on the island itself.
Thus, we have gathered a list of the frequently asked questions about this beach paradise so you can have a clearer idea of what to expect when planning and making your trip there.

2. Are there restrooms available on Lazarus Island?
On the island, there are two public restrooms available for use — one is closer to the jetty, while the other is closer to the connecting causeway to St. John’s Island. For those who are planning to swim or sunbathe on the pristine beaches, you’d be happy to know that both restrooms have showers you may use. Be sure to pack your own toiletries, towels and an extra set of clothes!
