- Coastal promontory & rocky shoreline — jagged rock platforms give you proper seaside drama: tide pools, wind, and unobstructed views of the channel and passing boats. Great for photography and watching how the tide reshapes the shore every few hours.
- Berlayer Creek mangrove boardwalk — a short, elevated walk through dense mangrove roots where you can spot mudskippers, fiddler crabs and small schooling fish up close. Quiet, shaded and surprisingly wild for a city park — my personal favorite for birdwatching and slow pace.
- Labrador Jetty (fishing jetty) — a local hangout for anglers and sunset-watchers; easy to reach and perfect for a cool sea breeze without hiking. You’ll get a neat perspective of Sentosa and the southern islands from here.

- Shaded nature trails & coastal walk — a network of short, easy trails that wind through secondary forest and casuarina stands, ideal for casual hikes or a morning run. The paths are compact and well-marked, so you can do a quick loop without getting lost.
- Intertidal wildlife & birdwatching spots — the mudflats attract resident and migrating shorebirds, kingfishers and herons, especially at low tide. Bring binoculars; even on weekdays you’ll see more wildlife than you’d expect in central Singapore.
- WWII fortifications and bunkers — rusty gun emplacements, brick bunkers and interpretive plaques dot the reserve, giving the place a layered feel: natural beauty sitting on top of real history. It’s compact history you can touch, and the contrast with the greenery is striking.
- Sunset headlands & picnic spots — small grassy clearings and cliff edges make for relaxed evening hangouts; the light on the water is often spectacular and much less crowded than bigger sunset spots. Pack a thermos or takeout and watch the sky do its thing.
