Desaru Coast

Johor, located within the southern section of the Malaysian peninsular is one of the most developed areas in the region. It is also an area that is renowned as a tourist destination with many incredible locales on offer. One of the most popular of these locales is Desaru, a coastal resort region with so much to experience from stunning beaches, to attractions such as The Els Club Malaysia, one of the golf courses in Johor.
The location of Desaru is fairly centralised since it is very close to Singapore, and also easily accessible through the Senai-Desaru Expressway. One can also reach Desaru by boat.

Most people come to this coastal town because of the beaches. The coast of Desaru isn’t as congested or littered with a plethora of restaurants and resorts which is the case in many coastal regions of Malaysia. Although finding accommodation is bound to be easy, the beaches are quiet and pristine.

If you’re looking to sample some great Johor cuisine ranging from traditional Malysian food to interesting takes on fast-food from local chains, the Medan Selera Desa Food Court would be an essential stop. The food is indulgent and affordable.

Although Scuba-Diving generally doesn’t commonly take place around Desaru, snorkelling is very popular, and a great way to enjoy the wonders beneath the clear waters. It may come as no surprise that surfing is also a popular activity that takes place at the Desaru coast.

For a more unique experience, one should definitely check out the Desaru Ostrich Farm. There are more than 300 ostriches residing in the farm and children are even able to ride them under the guidance of an expert. There are also various products you can buy ranging from jerky to ostrich eggs and a selection of leather products.

Be sure not to miss out an incredible excursion to the glamorous Desaru Coast.
