After graduated, we decided to go to Desaru Beach near Kota Tinggi, Johor Bharu to have a relaxing trip. We drove from Taman University, Skudai. Desaru is a beautiful beach in Southeastern Johor, Peninsular Malaysia.

We went there by my car and we spent around 2 hours to reach Desaru.  There are a few ways to go to Desaru as followings:

By bus
There are direct bus services around three times a day from Johor Bahru’s Larkin Terminal to Bandar Penawar. Alternatively, a bus service from Larkin to Kota Tinggi, then from Kota Tinggi to Bandar Penawar.
From Bandar Penawar, you can either take a cab (teksi) or wait the minibus. You can also take a cab from Kota Tinggi directly to Desaru.

By car
Drive to Pasir Gudang Highway and follow Kota Tinggi Direction. You will pass by Ulu Tiram. And from there, there will be brown colour signboard that directing you to Desaru Beach.

By boat
The passenger ferry Changi Ferry Terminal in Singapore and Tanjong Belungkor Ferry Terminal. There are also bumboat services from Changi Point Ferry Terminal to the fishing village of Pengerang and you may take cab to Desaru from there.

If you are not driving to Desaru, you are hard to go around since it is hard to find public transportation nearby. Therefore, we drove to Desaru.

When we reached Desaru, it was about time to took lunch and we had seafood in a famous seafood town “Sungai Rengit“.
