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.
