The beauty of Chek Jawa is unchangeable. There is several different ecosystems that can be seen in one small area. The plants and animals that are unseen in Singapore can be found there, some are also unseen all over the world. The ecosystem consists of mud and sandflats, mangrove, coastal forest, lagoon, coral rubble and a small island called Frog Island or Pulau Sekudu.

The hill overlooking Chek Jawa is covered with trees and plants that shelter and feed a variety of animals. Among the beautiful and unusual trees you may see is the Delek air tree.
Mangrove trees have unusual shapes and properties as they are adapted to being covered in seawater at high tide and to grow in soft mud. Mudskippers are the highlight of a visit to the mangroves.

Chek Jawa is among the few places left with a natural rocky shore, gravel beach and other interesting rock formations. At low tide, we can have a closer look at some of the strange animals that live here, including barnacles, crabs and fierce shell-drilling snails. the sand is the backbone of Chek Jawa and provides a home for all manner of intriguing creatures. The sand dollar is another intriguing creature to examine. The sand bar is also a popular rest stop for shorebirds that fly in from as far away as Siberia. Overhead, majestic birds of prey hunt for fishes in the sea.

Well, of course, this is not all of Chek Jawa. There are more interesting things about CheK Jawa that you and me might not know. Chek Jawa is a marvelous place to go for holidays, which can go there see the beautiful scenery or sunset and visit all those creatures that we had not met before in Singapore!
