Ubin Town

Ubin Town is the heart of Ubin.

As you leave Ubin Jetty and turn left (westwards), you will see the "Taxi Service" stand where taxi drivers wait to offer their services.

On the way into town, there are several bicycle rental shops and eating establishments. The restaurants serve home-cooked seafood and other local dishes. They can be quite crowded during weekends at peak mealtimes.

In the centre of town is the wayang stage which has a colourful history.

Nearby are provision shops that stock almost everything you could possibly need on your daytrip and offer fresh coconuts and other delicacies of the island.

There is a temple tucked away in a corner.

Moving further along in this direction, you will pass the Ubin Volunteer Hub (previously the Community Centre). The Assembly Area facing it is a conveniently place to start off large groups visiting Ubin. Cycling groups and student outings start here.

The roof of the Assembly Area has solar panels which are a part of the Ubin Micro-grid..
