1. When to go

Like many beach destinations in the region, the Desaru beach varies quite a bit according to seasonality. The monsoon falls between November and February. While there are many sunny days during this time, you can never say when it’ll start raining. The time between April and October tends to be the best if you want to have interrupted time outdoors. Make sure you plan your trip based on the activities that you would like to do.

2. Enjoy the beach

As an island, the best thing about Desaru is its beach. The beach there is relatively quiet and peaceful giving you enough time to relax and unwind.  While at the beach you can read a much-awaited book or simply get a nice tan. If you are going with your family they can have a picnic or a BBQ out on the beach. It is a kid-friendly beach since plenty of kids flock over to Desaru each year. The beaches at Desaru also offer a significant variety of activities based on where it is located. Some will have water sports renting shops, others will have small restaurants, etc. During your two-day vacation, spend at least one morning by this beautiful beach.

3. The Desaru Fruit Farm

It can be a very inspiring experience for your kids to learn about the fruits that they might be enjoying every day.

4. Ostrich Wonderland

The Ostrich Wonderland or farm is another popular attraction. There are over 100 Ostriches over there including those that are very elderly.

Make sure to take a lot of pictures if you visit the farm and to learn about the Ostriches and their behaviour as animals from the instructors there.
