Desaru's beaches are among the best in Johor. It was much hyped in the 80s with quite a few mega projects aimed at attracting foreign investment and visitors, which have since been abandoned.
Today, it's strictly a local affair with the occasional Singaporeans thrown in: there are no chic boutique, fancy restaurants or hip nightlife spots, just 22 kilometers of beach and a few aging resorts. After a period of neglect, recently Desaru has become popular with tourists wishing to see a true Malay resort without for-tourists frills, and it's likely to get a major fillip in 2010 once the much-delayed expressway from Johor Bahru is completed.
Many returning visitors agree that its white sandy beaches are a sight to behold. The beaches are clean, lined with casuarina trees and stretch 25 kilometres long. Here, visitors can enjoy fun- filled activities such as fishing, boating, swimming, hiking as well as other outdoor activities.
Take the opportunity to relax or get that sexy tan, while listening to rushing waves and enjoying the cool breeze.
