Cyrene Reef is a unique submerged reef right in the centre of Singapore's West Coast port surrounded by petrochemical and shipbuilding industries. It is only visible and visitable during very low tides. At other tides, the entire reef is totally submerged. At suitable low tides, access is by amphibious (wet)landing as there is no jetty or pier. Cyrene (also called Terumbu Pandan) has unique mix of various ecosystems : seagrass lagoons, sand bars, rocky shores, coral rubble and coralline areas. It's biodiversity is amazing! A reef-seagrass-sand oasis!

Uniquely Singapore!
