From idyllic coastal backdrops to a fascinating museum on fishing and fishermen, Tanjung Balau Beach is an ideal place to enjoy a laid-back getaway when next in Johor.

Planning a Visit

The beach town of Tanjung Balau can be found in the Kota Tinggi District and is within easy reach for those staying in Desaru; attractions such as this beach make an ideal place to spend a day by the sea with the family,especially before or after the noonday sun reaches its peak.

Unwind at the Beach

Known for being home to Johor’s oldest fishing village, Tanjung Balau is now well-known for its beach area where one can soak up the sun, go for a swim or even enjoy some fishing. Within a 15-minute drive from properties such as Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas, it’s a perfect spot for a family picnic too

The Fishermen Museum

The Tanjung Balau Fishermen Museum is also worth a visit when here and offers insights into the traditional livelihood of local fisherfolk. At the site, you will find displays and exhibits which cover the lives of fishermen, tools and techniques used, varieties of fish caught and even local superstitions to do with fishing.

Prehistoric Rocks

When the tide goes out at Tanjung Balau Beach, you also have the chance to see some rather intriguing rock formations, which will make for interesting photographs too. In fact, some of these rocks are said to date back to the Permo-Carboniferous age which means they are millions of years old!
