Labrador Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Maritime Square, Singapore.
Labrador Nature Reserve is a coastal nature reserve on Singapore's southern edge that combines mangrove forests, regenerating woodland, and rocky shores. The mix of these distinct environments creates pockets where birds, fish, and other wildlife thrive throughout the seasons.
During World War II, the British military fortified this coastal area with bunkers and artillery positions for defensive purposes. These structures remain as traces of Singapore's wartime past within the natural landscape.
The Dragon's Teeth Gate replica stands as a marker of maritime navigation, replacing the original structure removed in 1848 for ship passage.
Visitors can explore using marked trails and wooden boardwalks of varying difficulty with parking and facilities for different mobility levels available. The paths are open year-round, while specific areas like ComChest Green offer adapted facilities for older visitors and those with mobility challenges.
The Dragon's Teeth Gate replica marks historical navigation points along the coast and recalls the original structure removed in 1848 for shipping routes. This landmark connects Singapore's maritime past with the reserve's role as a modern nature sanctuary.
