Fodor's Expert Review Batu Layar Beach

A quieter alternative to the busier Desaru Beach, Batu Layar Beach (Sail Rock) is a wide, sandy virgin beach characterized by its sail-shaped rock, a submerged reef with a staghorn coral field. A tranquil spot, it's the perfect place for a picnic and offers easy swimming in the turquoise water.  The beach may be closed during monsoon season. Amenities: Showers; toilets. Best for: swimming, camping, solitude.
