A serene and tranquil spot by the ocean, perfect for unwinding and setting up camp. The beach is abundant with clams and provides a peaceful atmosphere for relaxation.

The beach is quite enjoyable, but do exercise caution as the water gets deep quickly. Additionally, the sand is a beautiful golden color.

The sandy shorelines of Desaru are a sight to behold, with crystal clear waters and pristine stretches of sand. Unfortunately, during our visit, the beach was closed, but the friendly guard on duty suggested we head over to Pantai Batu Layar instead. While the beach was certainly beautiful, we were disappointed to find that there were no public restrooms available.
