Stop At: Tanjung Balau, Tanjung Balau, Kota Tinggi District, Johor

Tanjung Balau is the oldest fishing village in Johor, Malaysia. This beach site is established more than a hundred years ago by fishermen from the north-eastern Malayan states of Kelantan and Terengganu.
There is a Fishermen’s Museum nearby the car parking area and it showcase artefacts on exhibit include fishing nets and tackles, and traditional tools used to fish. Visitors also get treated to a dose of local seafaring superstitions and techniques to determine a good catch.
The entire seascape at Tanjung Balau is especially beautiful during low tide as this is when the hidden marine life are revealed. There are lots of seashells in various shapes and sizes, small fish trapped in shallow pools of water between rocks and sandbars, and tiny crabs skittering across the sand, then disappearing just as quickly into unseen holes. Thus, getting the right timing to visit this site is important as the low tide timing is changing daily.
However, the most unique feature about Tanjung Balau are the wind-stressed rock formations seen only during low tide. The rocks are believed to be from the Permo-Carboniferous age, which is more ancient than those of the Permian period that began 275 million years ago!
It is possible to have a closer look at these prehistoric formations if you take the cement walkway that extends out to sea, circling round a little bay on another side of the promontory, before crossing a small bridge that joins up with the mainland. A number of shelters have been built along the walkway to allow visitors to take in the lapping waves against the rocky surrounds.
