Chinese:	乌敏岛
( Pinyin:	wu mǐn dǎo)
Malay:	Pulau Ubin
Tamil:	fill in

Pulau Ubin is a small island (10 km²) situated north east of Singapore, beside Pulau Tekong. The name literally means "Granite Island" in Malay, which explains the many abandoned granite quarries there. Granite mining supported a few thousand settlers in the 1960s, but only a hundred villagers live there today.

Outward Bound Singapore has camps at Pulau Ubin and uses it as a training ground for some of its programmes.

Visitors may travel to the island via a 10 min bumboat ride from the Changi Village jetty.
