If you have visited Pulau Ubin many times and are looking for something fresh, try Coney Island.
Formerly known as Pulau Serangoon, the island was owned by the creator of Haw Par Villa, Tiger Balm co-founders Aw Boon Haw and brother Aw Boon Par.
It was then sold to an Indian businessman with plans of turning the island into a resort, similar to New York’s own Coney Island. Evidently, those plans fell through.
Similar to St John’s Island, nature enthusiasts will have much to write home about at Coney Island.
While St John’s Island has its intertidal zones, Coney Island has a rich biodiversity featuring white sand beaches, grasslands and casuarina woodlands.
It also houses a wide variety of fauna and flora, some of which are critically endangered.
This island is also off the grid, with no electricity or piped water.
Visitors to the park can enter through the park connector network, of which it is a part of.
Just make sure to adhere to the rules and leave the island before 7pm, or risk being stranded when the gates close.
Perhaps one suggestion we would give is to make this place more accessible to people with mobility issues.
There are unsuitable terrain at some parts and we understand it’s to keep the park as rustic as much as possible.
But there’s so many diverse habitats that Coney Island can offer to its visitors so it’ll be perfect if everyone has the chance to experience it.
