Labrador Nature Reserve (GPS: 1.26555, 103.80157) is a protected forest area off Pasir Panjang Road / West Coast Highway in Bukit Merah, on the southern part of Singapore. It covers a 10-acre area and was gazetted a nature reserve in 2002. The coast is called Pasir Panjang, or "long beach" in Malay.
There's quite a number of things to see and do at Labrador Nature Reserve. You can find Fort Pasir Panjang, a World War II relic built by the British. The fort was used to store ammunition. It is near the site of the Battle of Pasir Panjang ofr 1942, between the Imperial Japanese Army and the 1st Malaya Infantry Brigade. The fort is on a hill overlooking the sea. Between the sea and the hill is the only sea-cliff on mainland Singapore.
Labrador Nature Reserve is also a good place for bird watching. Among the species you can find here include the Blue-crowned Hanging Parrot, the Rufous Woodpecker and the Abbott's Babbler. In all, 70 different species of birds have been sighted here.
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
