[2025 Kota Tinggi Attraction] Travel Guide for Pantai Tanjung Balau (Updated May)

#weekendgetaways Tanjung Balau Beach is just a quick 15 minute drive from the renowned Desaru Beach, made for a perfect short stop before heading to the Hard Rock Hotel. This hidden gem stands out for several reasons: 1. A peaceful place for retreat, less crowded. 2. Stunning beach with unique black rocks and reefs. 3. Beautiful clear water, making it a refreshing spot for a quick dip. Just leisurely walk through the water, past the rocks to explore further from the shoreline and simply sit on one of the bigger rocks to take in the tranquil view. #100waysoftravel #myhiddengems #malaysiatrip

#springitinerary #malaysiatrulyasia #seaside #johor Before the sun fully wakes, Pantai Tanjung Balau hums like an ancient poem whispered by the sea. Located on Johor’s eastern coast, this quiet beach isn’t just a destination—it’s a feeling. I arrived before the crowds, when the tide was low and the sky brushed soft pinks against the horizon. The old wooden jetty stretched into the sea like a hand reaching toward memory. Waves curled gently against the sand, and the salty breeze carried the scent of salt and time. There’s something meditative here. Local fishermen cast their nets in near silence. Families strolled barefoot, collecting shells as if gathering moments. The nearby Fishermen Museum, just steps from the shore, reminds you this place is rooted in heritage—real lives shaped by the sea. Pantai Tanjung Balau isn’t flashy or loud. It’s the kind of place where you pause without meaning to, just to listen. To the wind. To the waves. To yourself. And that, I think, is what makes it unforgettable—not just the view, but the stillness it leaves behind.

A small jetty that has seen better days but worth a short visit. People were seen returning with their catch of the day @ likely visitors who rented a boat for fishing. Fairly good spot to take photos. Also saw a troupe of monkeys stealing fruit from one of the homestay kampung houses nearby. There is also a mangrove Swamp park adjacent to the jetty as well as seafood restaurant though regrettably I did not try any of them.
