How
do I get there?Take a bumboat from Changi Jetty - the jetty is near the Changi Village Hawker Centre. The bumboats will take you to Ubin Jetty. Cost: $2/person. Maximum 12 passengers. Just join the queue and the boats will leave when they have 12 persons. If there are less than 12 persons, you might have to wait a little while until enough people turn up.
Take
a van from Ubin jetty - walk to the inland end of Ubin jetty, to the
road, and look for vans and land rovers. They will all have "PU" license
plates these days! On weekends, there are usually ample drivers. Just tell
the driver "Chek Jawa" and he will do the rest. Again, they might wait for
enough people to fill the van. Cost of 1-way van trip to Chek Jawa: $2 per
person.Important note: The road to Chek Jawa includes a portion of clay road off the main road. During the monsoon season, this clay road may be badly washed out and the vans will not be able to take you all the way in. Then you will have to walk from the main road. The clay road itself may be difficult to walk: muddy, slippery, with large water-filled potholes.
If
the van drives you all the way in by the clay road, at the drop off point,
walk to the Chek Jawa shore - it is a 3-minute walk. Take the fork to
your left, which slopes steeply down-hill. Follow the path to reach the
beach. To the right of the sign "Welcome to Chek Jawa" is a broken
down jetty, follow it down to the beach and go to your right towards the
big rocks. The fork to the right takes you to House No. 1, a disused house.
Here is a brief
view of the road to Chek Jawa. The same route gets you back to Changi! Van drivers will give you their name cards so you can call or page them on your handphones when you are ready to go home, or you can pre-arrange a pick-up time upon your arrival.
