Tanjung Leman Beach
"
Watch white hornbills while enjoying the warm breeze on Pantai Tanjung Leman. 'A jumping off' point to the islands."
Tanjung Leman is better known as the ‘jumping off’ point to the islands of Pulau Sibu and Sibu Tengah. Located about 72km south of Mersing, the beach is quite far off from the main road, which makes it a little difficult to find. However, the beach is served by a jetty and chalets.
Kayaks are available for those wishing to venture out beyond the shoreline. Snorkelling is worthwhile as there are nice corals around. The beach is also a good spot to watch some white hornbills flying above.
Chairs and shades are plenty for those who just want to have a quick escape from the hustle and bustle of city life with families and friends.
From an aerial view, the island looks like a bird or a bat resting with its wings outstretched. Its calm and quiet ambiance makes it the perfect choice for those who dream of a relaxing and laid back vacation.
A tranquil lowland and shady forest with crystal clear river water, this forest lies 17km from Mersing and 22km from Endau along the Mersing - Endau road.
Teluk Resang beach in Mersing, Johor is normally subjected to rough waves and wind. But the sombre tone of the sand which matches the wild nature of this spot makes it a popular destination.
The old name of the beach is Pantai Pasir Lanun (Pirates' Sandy Beach) because pirates chose the beach as their hideout due to its calm coast and the availability of fresh water.
