Meanwhile, the world is passing you by and leaving you behind â including offline activities that you once LIVED for.
Once youâve made the connection that you need to disconnect, you need a plan. But if youâve been struggling to temporarily free yourself of the digital world and reunite with what makes you truly happy, then thereâs no time like the present for⌠a digital detox.

âI Can SEA Clearly Nowâ
Salt water is said to be the cure for everything. Itâs almost impossible to be unhappy when at the beach â with pristine white sand and calm blue waters, the sea offers us myriad healing properties.Â
Whether you enjoy sitting by the beach and listening to the waves, reading a good book in the sunshine, or getting your thrills through water sports, you can discover a whole new world under (or by) the sea.
The Desaru Coast Beach Walk is the perfect way to find that inner peace, allowing you to take in the beautiful beaches, interesting flora, and marine plants along the shoreline. This tour demonstrates the importance and benefits of the coastal environment and the rich geological history of Desaruâs rock pools.Â
Groove With The Mangroves
Mangroves? Yes, mangroves! You might consider mangroves to be simply shrubs or trees that grow in coastal saline or brackish water â but theyâre so much more than this. While we often look at the thicket of roots and marvel at how intricate and strong they are, the real magical properties of the mangroves are the fact that they are crucial to the coastal ecosystem. From serving as a buffer between marine and terrestrial life, to protecting the shoreline from damaging winds, waves and floods; from filtering pollutants and trapping sediments from the land, to reducing coastal erosion, mangroves are one of natureâs best gifts to coastal lands.
Be one with nature in Desaru Coast as you cruise along the mangroves with a naturalist guide, who will ensure you not only get to explore, but also learn about the traditions and superstitions of local fishermen. You might also have the chance to plant some mangrove saplings, and find some joy in doing your part to maintain this crucial ecosystem.Â
