The 300 metre Labrador beach is extremely rich in marine flora and fauna. Plants such as the sea-grapes, sea-fan and red algae provide food for the fauna at the beach. The animals exploit the environment created by an exposed rocky shore, with some sheltered muddy zones, and show many adaptations to feeding on mud, burrowing, swimming, self-defence and display. Besides its rich biodiversity, this headland played a significant role in the history of Singapore during World War II. Remnants of the past like the war relics, tunnels and a fort enable visitors to have an interactive learning experience of the military history of the British rule during that era. Students, especially, will benefit from the educational value of these war relics that are now surrounded by natural forest. The military installations were built on the highest points, now inside the Nature Reserve, overlooking the Park below.

The Park

Labrador Park is an oasis of tranquility and natural wonder. The park offers a picturesque view of the sea. A Staircase built on the edge of the secondary forest will offer a prime view of the cliff side vegetation coupled with a panoramic view of the sea. It is not uncommon to hear songs sung by a variety of bird species, including the Oriental Magpie-robin and Black-naped Oriole. While you are taking a leisurely stroll along one of the nature trails, you can spot squirrels scurrying up trees. Raptors like the Brahminy Kite, Oriental Honey-Buzzard and Black Baza soar in the sky above while Monitor lizards sun along the footpath. Even the Southern Pied Hornbill has been sighted occasionally. Walk along the Promenade to the soothing sound of the waves and watch cruise ships sail past Sentosa Island. A recently refurnished jetty will take the visitor into the sea to enjoy a breathtaking view of the sunset. If fishing is your cup of tea, join the regular group of anglers at the sea walk along the promenade. .

The park is lit from 7:00 pm to 7:00 am.
