War Relics
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 tunnels and a fort enable visitors to have an interactive learning experience of the military history of the British rule during that era.

Safely tucked away in the nature reserve, these tunnels were used by the British Army during World War II. They were left hidden and forgotten since then until they were rediscovered in 2001.
The tunnels are now closed for maintenance till further notice.
