Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Beach
Desaru Beach
The beach of Desaru borders a coast equipped with living services. Swimming remains subject to waves, currents and orders; the hotel sectors do not imply free access everywhere.
Beach
Tanjung Balau Beach
Tanjung Balau combines beach and fishing village on the coast of Johor. The uses of the shore are the responsibility of both the inhabitants and the visitors; follow the local bathing indications.
Museum
Tanjung Balau Fishermen Museum
The Tanjung Balau Fisherman's Museum presents landmarks on local sea life and know-how. Accessible collections and spaces must be confirmed with the museum.
Waterfall
Kota Tinggi Waterfalls
Kota Tinggi Falls occupy a wooded area of the interior of the land. Accesses and basins can be closed or regulated according to rains; do not assume that swimming is safe.
