Headline:
5 best beaches in Singapore and reasons to visit
This is the headline which has a number and lures the audience with “reasons”.

Strapline / subhead:
Singapore is an island so you might as well enjoy the beaches. We tell you how.
The subhead is here to reinforce the headline. Also to explain a bit more to the audience and
give them a reason for clicking if the article is shared on social media.

Introduction:
If the travel restrictions and measures have gotten you down and you need your beach
holiday fix, here are some places you can go to for a quick escape. Let’s look at the options.
This is where you start to pull your reader through your story.

1. East Coast Park


The numbers in the list makes the audience uneasy if they leave without finishing.
There’s something on East Coast Park for everyone, whatever you fancy.
This is the statement.

Whether it’s just lazing on the beach, going cycling or finding a cafe to savour some seafood
with beer, the five-kilometre stretch which starts from Fort Road and ends at Changi Village
will be a great place to start or end a walk.
This is the explanation or elaboration of the opening sentence you just made.

From the start of the stretch you can rent bicycles at the shed called Bike Stop opposite Fort
Road. You can then stop anywhere along the beachside path for refreshments at PS Cafe,
McDonald’s, the Lagoon Food Centre, Bakery and Bar St Marc, Jumbo Seafood, Sandbank
and East Coast Commune.
These are just some examples. With enough research, this can be a separate article on the
eateries or bicycle rentals along East Coast Park alone.

Repeat this process for the rest of the items on the list.

Conclusion:
So the next time you feel the need to get some sand between your toes, get some exercise
along with the salty air or just laze the day away, all you have to do is decide which beach.
The conclusion ties in with the concept mentioned at the start. Alternatively, you can
summarise or give your own opinion.
