"Twenty-five kilometres of white, sandy beach and lush tropical greenery highlight the beach of Desaru - the most popular beach in Johor."
Twenty-five kilometres of white, sandy beach and lush tropical greenery makes up Desaru - the most popular beach in Johor. Located 98km north east of Johor Bahru, Desaru, or also known as the 'Village of Casuarinas', was developed by the South Johor Development Authority (KEJORA) to boost tourism industry in Johor.
Desaru is a great destination for family vacation as it offers a variety of activities for the whole family including swimming, fishing, snorkelling, canoeing, horse riding, jungle trekking, go-carting, golfing and windsurfing. Regarded as Johor's 'gold mine', Desaru is equipped with a wide range of facilities and several up-market resorts, each with its own individual character. An 18-hole golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. makes Desaru a well-known destination among golfers.
Apart from first-class hotels and resorts, other accommodations available in Desaru include chalets, dormitories and camping facilities for those looking for a back-to-nature experience. Facilities at the beachfront include picnic grounds, restaurants, food outlets and souvenir shops.

"Amazing................ WOW!" by razis
"Nice place for a short vacation." by zu
"Good beach..."
"Getting there by car is quite far due to the fact that you have to travel to Kota Tinggi first before travelling down south to Desaru. Hopefully the future direct highway from JB will solve this. The resorts in Desaru are rather run down. Only one is the exception and it is very expensive. The place serves as a launch point to explore Batu Layar Beach and Teluk Punggai Beach if you drive."
"Pantainya cantik tapi tidak secantik pantai cherating,Pahang dan pantai-pantai di Negeri Terengganu( Maaf! orang Johor jangan marah ). Apa yang menyedihkan juga mengecewakan saya yg menjejakkan kaki buat pertama kali ke sini ialah bayaran parking yg dikenakan keatas pengunjungnya sebanyak RM 3.00. Saya tidak faham mengapa kawasan pantai awam dikenakan bayaran.Saya fikir perkara ini tidak sepatutnya berlaku. saya telah melancong ke hampir semua pantai-pantai di semenanjung malaysia tetapi tidak pernah ada mana-mana tempat(pantai) mengenakan bayaran ke atas pengunjung,hanya di Negeri Johor sahaja yang mengenakan bayaran iaitu di Desaru dan Pantai Air Papan,Mersing. Diharap pihak berwajib dapat memberi perhatian serta tindakan yang sepatutnya untuk tidak mendatangkan bebanan kepada pengunjung di sini. " by ahmad

"
Ya, benar kata en.ahmad, memang bayaran masuk ke pantai awam ini tidak sepatutnya dikenakan kepada pengunjung. kadar sewa bilik hotel ataupun chalet juga terlalu mahal tak masuk akal- Desaru Holiday Chalet 1 mlm hari biasa RM 300.00,hari minggu/cuti umum naik jadi RM 400.00 ." by rakyat marhaen
