Sarimbun Beach Landing Site

This mangrove-lined heritage landmark marks the landing of the Japanese troops when they first attacked Allied forces in Singapore in World War II. Protected by heavy artillery fire, the soldiers of the 5th and 18 Japanese Divisions made their way across the Johor Straits in a fleet of small boats on the night of February 8, 1942. The area then became known as Sarimbun Scout campsite, where scouts can put their jungle survival skills to the test with sea-based activities, high-ropes elements, and land expeditions.
