"
A raw kind of beauty. As natural as it can be, here’s a spot that can be exhilarating in its raw beauty, along the rugged stretch of Johor."
Proceed from Tanjung Resang for another three kilometres along this rugged stretch of Johor coastline and you will see Teluk Gorek. Like Tanjung Resang, Teluk Gorek, too, faces the open South Chine Sea and bears the full force of rough waves and strong winds. Wild and natural as it may be, Teluk Gorek is a spot that can be exhilarating and captivating with its raw beauty. Look out for monkeys leaping from tree to tree in the dense jungle.
