Desaru Coast Beckons
The scenic eastern coast of Johor is where you will find the town of Desaru, around an hour’s drive from Johor Bahru. This charming town stretches along 17 kilometres of stunning coastline, where you will find the crown jewel – Desaru Beach. Ideally, look to stay at a property like Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas nestled beside these soft sandy shores. Imagine starting your day with the sound of rolling waves and the gentle sea breeze – pure bliss!
Water Sports Galore
This coastal stretch not only offers diverse Desaru attractions to visit but also plenty of thrills on the water! Enjoy adrenaline-pumping jet-skiing and wakeboarding, or a heart-pounding banana boat ride. You can additionally look to surf the waves with surfboard rentals readily available. Stay at a resort that offers seasonal water sports with options like Hobie Cat sailing and stand-up paddleboarding; if you are feeling adventurous, try windsurfing or kitesurfing which offer an exhilarating ocean experience.
Other Things to Do
Desaru Beach isn’t just about water sports. Start your day with a rejuvenating beach yoga session or build sandcastles with the kids (a family competition is a must!). Get active with a friendly beach soccer or volleyball match followed by a refreshing dip in the ocean. At low tide, the beach reveals some intriguing things to see; keep an eye out for fascinating creatures like moon snails and sand bubbler crabs!
