Pulau Ubin is a boomerang shaped island located in
north eastern Singapore off the coast of Changi near the airport. It is a
beautiful and idyllic area where time has stood still, and is a reflection
of Singapore in the 1960s. There are many scenic spots on the island such as
the Malay kampong houses, temples, mangrove swamps, granite quarries and
beaches. Pulau Ubin is also a good bird watching area as well as a place for
cross country cycling.
The island could be reached by bumboats at the Changi Jetty near to Changi Village. The fare is $2 per trip and they operate from 6 am to around 10 pm. |

There are plenty of coconut trees on Pulau Ubin, and this is not surprising because it is a tropical island. The coconut trees help to create relaxing and natural backdrops which are very good for photography. This photograph gallery is a showcase of the beautiful coconut trees on the island. |
