Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Wetland
Chek Jawa
Chek Jawa brings together several coastal environments, including mangroves, coastal forest and estran. Bridges allow observation from authorized accesses; guided routes and pontoons can be suspended independently of the site.
Former quarry
Ubin Quarry
The quarry of Ubin is an old granite farm now occupied by a water body and surrounded by vegetation. Views are discovered from open paths; bathing and descent into the quarry are not presumed allowed.
Village
Pulau Ubin village
The village near the pier gathers houses, shops and services of the island. The promenade takes place in a inhabited place: respect the properties and check locally the possibilities of crossing back.
Shrine
German Girl Shrine
German Girl Shrine is a small shrine of Pulau Ubin associated with several local traditions and stories. The story of the girl comes from a discussed memory: do not present her as a fully established fact. Respect the offerings and practices of the faithful. The photograph shows the old building, before the renovation of 2015.
