Lighthouse @ Raffles Marina

It's Sunday, and we (my wife and I) had just dropped CJ off at NTU Residential Hall after breakfast. We were not far away from Tuas. We were on frenzy tourist mood, having just explored Nantah Lake. We decided to explore the Lighthouse @ Raffles Marina.

The drive from NTU to Raffles Marina took about 15 minutes. After disembarking from our car, we walked into the pier, looking out for the famed Lighthouse (as depicted in numerous Instagram posts).

We walked along the inverted L shaped walkway encircling the pier, with boats docking along it. The walkway leads to the Lighthouse at its end. We can see Forest City Integrated Residential Area in Johor from the walkway.

And the highlight of our visit ... The Lighthouse!

To be sure, it is not a grand tall structure - probably about 4 storeys high. But it is a scenic spot to take pictures nonetheless. The place is not crowded at all.

We visited the place around 2pm, under the hot humid weather. There was some breeze around. It was not crowded at all (only a handful of visitors were there).

My guess is it will be much better to visit in the evening, catching glimpse of the sunset.

There are not many lighthouses left in main island of Singapore - there was apparently one at Labrodor Park, and another one in Fort Caning Park (far away from any sea). Hence, one cannot be too picky!
