The beaches are lined with casuarina trees dotted by rustic fishing village.

One thing that keep attracts people to come back to Desaru is the beach. It's clean and no matter where you stay in any of the resorts, you can still enjoy the same clean and sandy beach.

The beach is quite unique as the sand is quite grayish but you can walk nearly 50 meters into the sea and still the depth is approximately 4 feet deep). Desaru has one of the best beach in the mainland of Johor.

My pal and I drove up a couple of months ago and I was deeply fascinated by the wonders presented in front of me. Being an outdoorsy person, I was captivated by the clean beaches and bright sun. The people seemed so relaxed, chilling in groups, drinking and having fun.

Here are some fun pics that I took during my day excursion there.
