View of Singapore's Central Business District from St. John's Island with the country's bustling port and maritime trade

St. John's Island is one of Singapore's southern island. It was used in its early days as a quarantine station for cholera cases detected among immigrants. From the mid 1950s, the island was used to house a penal settlement and a drug rehabilitation centre. In 1975, the island was once again transformed, this time as a tranquil getaway with swimming lagoons, beaches, picnic grounds and chalets, for urbanite Singaporeans. Today one can get away from the daily bustle in Singapore by catching a ferry from the Marina South Pier.
