Labrador Nature Reserve

Located on the southern coast of Singapore, Labrador Nature Reserve contains the only rocky sea cliff that is accessible to public.

The 16.8-hectare nature reserve includes a coastal hill secondary forest and a rocky shore with the last coral reef in Singapore.

It is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna as well as some interesting marine life.

The tranquil nature reserve with a panoramic view of the sea also had a part to play in the history of Singapore.

Hidden under the reserve are tunnels and casemates that were in use during World War II. Due to its high vantage point, the cliff was originally identified by the British as a key defence site to protect the entrance to Singapore's harbours.

A battery was set up on the site. However, when the Japanese attacked from the north instead of the southern coast, the coastal equipment quickly became useless and the site was used as a place for shelter and ammunition storage instead.

Today, besides enjoying the lush greenery of the nature reserve and the spectacular sea view, you can also take a guided tour of the Labrador Secret Tunnels. The tunnels have been preserved in their original state and you can still see the debris left over from the bombings the tunnels have suffered during the war.

The Labrador Secret Tunnels are open from 10am to 7pm with last entry at 6pm. Admission charges are SGD 8 for adults and SGD 5 for children.
