Beaches
and camping on Ubin Noordin Beach has white sandy beaches and a view of Johor across the Straits. It is a popular camping site. Mamam Beach was reinforced by a seawall and ringed by wooden railing after it was threatened with serious soil erosion in 1999. There are benches and tables and a nearby toilet. Jelutong campsite has been opened near Ubin Town facing the mainland. For more information call the Information Kiosk at 654-24108. Ubin is a natural area and to protect this environment, there are guidelines for activities conducted at these camping sites. Some of these include not allowing campfires, littering, tying ropes/tent lines to the trees or cutting their branches. Only Jelutong Campsite has facilities to accomodate a campfire. Toilet facilities are available at all campsites but bear in mind that the water is not suitable for drinking or bathing. Permits are not required to camp at Noordin, Mamam Beach or Jelutong campsite, availability is on a first come first served basis. However, campers are advised to drop by the Ubin NParks Info Kiosk (at the Ubin Jetty) for some camping do and don'ts and register their particulars at the Pulau Ubin Police Post (to the right of Ubin Jetty) with the local police post for ease of contact in case of emergencies. More tips for visitors. Chek Jawa is probably the most famous shore on Ubin. There are of course, other beaches on Ubin as well. Without facilities, they are truly wild and usually quiet and unspoilt. Back to exploring Ubin Links
