Tucked away in the north-eastern corner of Singapore is a singular beach for spectacular sponges. Exposed at low tide, these sponges come in an explosion of colours, from orange to blue, champagne, purple and green. They cloak Punggol Beach’s rocky area and are sometimes host to Brittle Stars. Also living here are Thunder Crabs, Flower Crabs, Purple Climber Crabs and Hermit Crabs. Stare at an area of rock long enough and you might just spot the near-invisible Onch Slug, perfectly camouflaged as it grazes on algae. Many lifeforms encrust the rocks including beds of tiny mussels, curious worm snails, rock oysters and good old barnacles. Other captivating creatures dwelling amidst a riot of seagrasses and seaweeds include hard corals, sea urchins, ascidians, clams, drills and more. Join us in this fun intertidal walk to seek them out!
Time: Dependent on the tides (usually mornings or evenings); exact timings for the 2-hour walk are reflected in the booking page! If you wish to engage us for a private intertidal walk for your group/class on a weekday or weekend (during suitable low tides), kindly email gloria_seow@yahoo.com to enquire.
Cost: $38 per person (Adult/Child Age 4 and above)
