Tanjung Balau

Fishermen living in the east coast used several ancient techniques to catch fish; some used to look at the moon or looked at the skyline for weather changes.

The museum is located north of Desaru, and was developed by the South Johor Development Authority (KEJORA). This is part of a development project in the local fishermen's village at Tanjung Balau.

Many artefacts are on exhibit, including fishing nets, tackles with authentic replicas of the tools used.

There are also gaily decorated traditional boats, rafts and vessels used by local fishermen.
