Telok Sengat, Kota Tinggi, Johor

Telok Sengat in Kota Tinggi is actually situated on the banks of Sungai Johor, a river instead of the sea. Telok sengat Town seen from the Jetty.

Nearby, a bridge linking from Senai to Desaru, bypassing Kota Tinggi Town, easier access and shorter distance for people from Kuala Lumpur or from the airport to reach Desaru.

Telok Sengat Town is a very small town, but is a historical sites for the "Old" Johor (Johor Lama), the name was the basis for naming the current State Capital Johor Bahru, of which "Baru" means "new" (fyi; Bahru is an old spelling). The historical site for Old Johor Fort (Kota Johor Lama). "The Johor Lama Historical Complex sheds light on the Johor Lama Fort. Built on the land that used to be the Sultanate’s government centre, the historical complex is a replica of the Sultan’s palace. The Johor Lama Historical Complex preserves the rich history of the fort and visitors will be thrilled to learn more about the place through an audio visual presentation and well-illustrated oil paintings depicting the events from 500 years ago." quotes taken from Johor Tourism Portal.

Also there are a lot of scenic sights.

Coastal Road Sedili - Desaru, Johor

We continue our way, after a short break at Jason Bay, Sedili, Johor, we drive towards Kota Tinggi through the coastal road. Very rarely we encounter cars from the opposite direction. I don't think I would want to drive here at night..... very creepy and quiet without any settlements.

And I was a bit worried as my petrol is diminishing fast....

Anyway while at it, we still enjoy the sceneries.... (Taken by my children while I'm driving)

Along the way (the Coastal Road)

The monkeys....

We just enjoy the drive...........

Sedili - Jason Bay @ Telok Mahkota, Johor

Dari Mersing terus ke Sedili... Melalui Pekan Jemaluang dan kemudian ke persimpangan kampung Mawai untuk menuju ke Sedili.... penulisan lama ada yang mengeja Sedeli.... cerita sebenar kena tanya orang kampung....

Dah hampir 17 tahun tak sampai sini, padahal ramai saudara-mara sebelah emak di sini, termasuklah keluarga Pak Ngah ku Allahyarham Datuk Usman Awang @ Tongkat Waran.

Tiba di Tanjung Sedili, petrol dah tinggal suku, cuba cari stesen minyak tak jumpa-jumpa.

Jeti Tanjung Sedili

Pekan Tanjung Sedili dah tak semeriah dulu-dulu tak ramai orang kerana dah tak ada lagi bot penambang untuk menyeberang Sungai, sungainya pun walaupun cantik hijau dan luas kerana terletak di Muara tak banyak bot atau perahu seperti 30-40 tahun dulu.

Lebihkurang 40tahun dulu pernah naik bot penambang menyeberang ke Sedili Besar, dapat lihat buaya ditengah Sungai dengan mulut ternganga luas.

Identiti Tanjung Lembu pun dah hilang, kerana tak ada lagi lembu berkeliaran.... Sedili dah maju....

Minyak dah kekurangan, tawakal teruskan perjalanan mana tahu jumpa stesen minyak, kali ini melalui jalan arah Sedili Kecil.

Singgah sebentar di Jason Bay kini dikenali sebagai Telok Mahkota. Masa kecil disinilah tempat kami sekeluarga berkelah. Dulu tempat ini meriah dengan pengunjung, masa tu Desaru pun tak wujud lagi. Dulu tempat ini tidak terjaga, penuh dengan tahi lembu, sekarang dah di jaga rapi dan terdapat chalet di Jason Bay Resort.

Anak-anak seronok tapi tak prepare untuk stop.... lainkali akan stay sini dan bawa layang-layang....

Sungguh nyaman berehat di pantai... dibawah pokok ru dan angin Laut China Selatan (South China Sea)

Tetapi pemandangan disini tetap indah......

Pantai Penyabong, Endau

Very nice place, very peaceful, except in the evening some Karaoke activities at nearby resort....

Other than that the place is nice, especially to be away from the hectic city live

Endau Beach Resort, view from the Beach


From the distance we can spot the "Kelong Aceh", using my Camera Zoom at 270mm


The old jetty, still in use


bot nelayan

Then while travelling to mersing we stopped for lunch at roadside restaurant serving Udang Galah, a bit expensive but fresh. We spotted this tree covered by weeds?

More to come....

Endau Beach Resort

Kami stay kat Endau Beach Resort terletak kat Pantai Penyabong atau dulu dikenali sebagai Pantai Pasir Lanun (Pirate Sandy Beach)

Kat sini je ada swimming pool, chalet sebelah lengang sebab takde pool, kat sini ada lagi 3-4 family stay.

Parking pun ok sebab ada pagar.


Kalu nak gi Chalet sebelah ni Penyabong Beach Resort, ok gak banyak chalet, cuma takde attraction mcm swimming pool


Kat Jeti baru....


Kan tepi Jeti pun ada banyak Chalet tapi hari tu mcm tutup je opis dia. kat sini ada boathouse....

Ada lagi....

At the Lake Garden

Last week, exactly last Wednesday, Razman and myself took leave from office for a day just to satisfy our Photography urge. So we headed to the Lake Garden or Taman Tasik Perdana....
