Tanjung Leman is located 72km south of Mersing. It's the departure point for boats that go to some islands.
Pulau Tinggi, Pulau Sibu and Sibu Besar have always been popular destinations. Tanjung Leman has a terminal and the boats are
leaving at:
- 09.00 hours
- 14.00 hours
- 18.00 hours
- 21.00 hours
On the ferry's life vests are provided and must be worn by law. The journey takes about 20 - 45 minutes. That depends on the islands where
you're going to. The terminal building is new and houses toilets and restaurants.
Taxis are also available to transfer visitors to Johor Bahru or any other place in
Malaysia. By road, it's approximately 120km to Johor Bahru.
Just down the road from the Terminal is Tunjuk Laut Beach Resort, with some
fairly decent looking chalets on the little beach.
The beach and the Terminal are quite far off from the main road,
which makes it a little difficult to find.
There are kayaks available for those wishing to venture out beyond the shoreline.
Also snorkelling is worthwhile as there are nice corals around. The beach
is also a good spot to watch some white hornbills flying above.
Chairs and shades are plenty for those who just want to have a quick escape
from the hustle and bustle of city life with families and friends.
When you
follow the road to the north, you'll find a village called Kampong Tenggaroh just a few km of Tanjung
Leman.
- Travelling time:
- by car from Singapore 3 hours
