Labrador Nature Reserve
Labrador Nature Reserve is often referred to as "Labrador Park." Located along Singapore’s southern coastline, it was established in 2002 and spans 10 acres. It is well known for its coastal cliffs and lush secondary forest. It is the best place in Singapore to explore the verdant vegetation nestled among the cliffs and take in the magnificent panoramic views of the sea and sky.
Facing the Strait of Malacca, Labrador serves as an important gateway to the western coast. The reserve preserves numerous relics from World War II and earlier, including tunnels, gun batteries, and fortifications. The sturdy gun emplacements and fortresses were built by the British and designed to be easily defended and highly effective for protection. The reserve is home to over 50 species of birds and 11 recorded species of butterflies. Its rocky shores also host a large population of corals and crabs, along with an abundance of seagrass, horseshoe crabs, and sandworms. Strolling through this tranquil, scenic reserve, you might see lively squirrels leaping past you and scampering up tall trees, while the air is filled with the cheerful chirps of orioles and magpie robins.
