The Desaru Beach overlooking the South China Sea is a stunning spot to simply kick back and relax. Pack a comfy beach mat, a picnic spread, and possibly your favorite book before heading out. The waters are warm, calm and shallow, and are great for a refreshing dip and for kids to splash about it in safely. For those keen to try out some adrenaline-pumping water sports, you have the option of trying out surfing, water skiing, wakeboarding, or banana boating. Do make sure to book rides through reputed tour operators to avoid getting ripped off.
