Shores

Labrador

Most of mainland Singapore's coast is now seawall. At Labrador a stretch of natural rocky shore survives inside a nature reserve, below coastal forest and old wartime gun emplacements.

How to see it

The paths and boardwalk give good views over the shore. Whether you can go onto the rocks depends on the current NParks rules, which have changed over the years, so check before you go and follow the signs.

What to look for

Rocky shores have a different cast from sand and seagrass: snails and limpets clamped to the rocks, crabs in the cracks, and anemones and seaweeds in the pools.
