Why I love Ubin so much? Let the pictures speak...

This is Chek Jawa. It's a spot on the east of the island that is very charming and teeming with lots of marine life. But it's closed now to the public and open only to scheduled guided tours during the low tides. Ubin has salt-water mangroves all around its coast.


I was standing on a carpet of sea grass or some kind of kelp.
They smelled like nori.


Lone fisherman in his really tiny boat casting nets at a swamp.




At the beach, lots of snails you can use for escagos maybe?




And other weird stuff growing on rocks.

Other things you might get to see ....
pelicans...


lizards...(the one on all fours)



chunks and slabs of clay on the beach which you can use
as play dough if you were bored...



gigantic ants...

bugs mating...

huge spiders...

domesticated boar...

very interesting-looking trees...

Oh, there are also monkeys, crabs, tonnes of mud-skippers, stray cats and dogs, mosquitoes(needless to say), all kinds of birds(hawks in the winter!) and i believe a lot more interesting stuff around if you'd take time to explore and observe.
