Mersing. The islands that are accessed using this jetty are Pulau Sibu Besar, Pulau Sibu Tengah, Pulau Tinggi, Pulau Apil, Pulau Kukusand, Pulau Sibu, Hujung.

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. The cape (the Tanjung) has 2 jetties.
Currently only the new jetty which sits on the bank of a river is in use. It has a secured car park for
travellers heading into the nearby island.
The old jetty is no longer in use but is still accessible by car through the road that leads into a nearby chalet. It's a
favourite place for beach anglers. There are also small fisherman jetties in the vicinity along the river.
Pantai Tanjung Leman is a beach which is popular among the locals. The beach is also a perfect spot for campers but it is advisable to camp there on the weekends only unless it is a big group.
