Pulau Ubin Off The Beaten Path Tips by victorwkf Top 5 Page for this destination

Views of Malaysia

When you are at Pulau Ubin, you are actually very near to the border between Singapore and the neigbouring Johor state of Malaysia. For example when you are at Nordin or Manam beaches, right across the other side is Johor state.

During the boat journey to the island, you will notice a few hills at a distance away. These belongs to Johor state of Malaysia. I think one of them is Pengerang Hill.

Traditional Fish Farms (Kelongs)

When you are at the main village of Pulau Ubin and look across the sea, you will see several traditional fish farms (known as Kelongs in Malay).

There used to be more of such fish farms in this area, but they have decreased with time due to difficulties in maintaining such a lifelihood and there are more job opportunities in Singapoew.
