Juara Beach
Juara Beach lies on Tioman Island's wild east coast, a tranquil retreat away from the main tourist areas. It features a long stretch of golden sand bordered by palm trees and dense jungle, with stronger waves than the west coast making it ideal for surfing. The beach is famous for its sea turtle conservation project where green and hawksbill turtles come to lay eggs from March to October. Volunteers can participate in egg collection, incubation, and hatchling releases. Access requires a 30-minute 4WD taxi ride from Tekek across the mountains, a local bus, or a 1.5-2 hour jungle trek. The atmosphere is quieter and less developed, attracting those seeking genuine relaxation and authentic island experience.
