Desaru

A major tourist attraction, Desaru the "Village of Casuarinas", is just 8km northeast of JB. Situated on a 25km stretch of virtually untouched beaches, it is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, boating, canoeing, windsurfing, water-skiing, catamaran-sailing, and even jungle trekking. One can also make arrangements for night fishing on a floating pontoon. There are two first class beach resorts, several chalets, and other amenities. Golf enthusiasts can try a round of their favorite game at the nearby 18-hole international standard golf course. Food stalls and restaurants provide some of the finest Malay, Chinese, and Western cuisine.
