Looking for a super chill escape in Bandar Penawar? Here’s my quick guide to soaking up Desaru Coast Riverside vibes 🌴🌊 Desaru’s not just about beaches – the riverside is where it’s at if you want the combo of nature, modern architecture, and coconut tree feels!
📸Top Spot to Visit:
Desaru Coast Riverside (G7W7+Q2, 82200 Bandar Penawar, Johor, Malaysia) – I spent my afternoon walking along wide green lawns with a big shady tree overhead, admiring a sleek wooden building and the cluster of homes nearby. Even on a cloudy, drizzly day, the place is bright and photogenic! The scene mixes palm trees and tropical greenery with cool modern buildings, making it ace for casual strolls or insta-shoots.
🌧️ Tip: Rainy afternoons are actually less crowded, so bring a light umbrella or raincoat and enjoy the mellow atmosphere. The riverside walk is peaceful, and you’ll find enough shelter under trees and building awnings if you need a break.
🚗 Getting Around:
You can grab a Grab car from Bandar Penawar town, or just bike over if you’re staying close – the area’s flat, so it’s perfect for a slow cruise.
🥞Food:
Try the riverside cafes for local coffee or snacks (there’s usually at least one open, even in off-hours). For a bigger meal, check out nearby Desaru seafood houses – super fresh and not too pricey!
🌟Destination Tips:
No need for visa hoops if you’re Malaysian. Foreign visitors: have cash (ringgit) handy as some eateries are cash-only. Weather flips fast – always pack a thin poncho!
