The place itself was some 15 kms up north of Mersing. Can't miss it cause there were so many signages that indicate this beach, so I turned right into the small asphalt road which later turned into laterite. I have been to this place some 20 odd years ago and during that time, it was one of the popular local destination to swim and do practically nothing and perhaps have a picnic.
Well, I was a little disappointed cause when I got there, the beach was not what it used to be. It's a little dirtier and a lot less people. It's also a little commercialised. Went 4x4 on the surrounding area and found nothing really interesting. Some abandoned and badly kept chalets. Some new chalets under construction. A few lifeguards surprisingly - chatting and idling away.
Drove away a little disappointed. Found a fishing jetty on my way out. Not a single soul in sight - silence.
