Juara is the only village on Tioman's east coast and arguably the most secluded. The mainland ferry doesn't go here on a daily basis yet, which is probably why Juara is still as quiet and rustic as it was before.
Juara Beach
Apart from the intermittant Mersing ferry, the other way to reach Juara is by the dedicated local
Juara Ferry, private speedboat from Genting, or by taxi from Tekek Village, after having been dropped there by the mainland ferry. Tip: Don't forget to score your ferry tickets back to the mainland whilst you're in Tekek Village.
Some intrepid travelers trek their way across the island from Tekek on foot, but at nearly 3 hours, it's not for the faint-at-heart.
That said, the simply stunning sunrise alone makes Juara more than worth the effort. And Juara's beach was voted
21st most beautiful beach in the world by CNN, so try not to miss it when you're doing Tioman.
The easy life, at Juara Beach
Juara offers a few chalets and restaurants, most of which are sitting within a stone's throw of the sea. In fact, whichever Juara establishment you visit, you pretty much always have a gorgeous view of the sea.

Apart from the sea and the beach, there's a dense emerald jungle to explore, as well as a modest river, a waterfall and a lagoon, so you won't be in need of places to see and things to do, especially since there's also a turtle sanctuary to check out.
By the way, if you're into surfing, visit Juara during the monsoon months, November - February, because the surf here gets up to 15 feet and is very good quality.
As a matter of fact, so surfable are these waves that Juara is now home to a yearly
surf contest.

Juara Express
As for the Juara Express ferry that's going to be operating its ferry service direct to Juara out of Tanjung Gemuk, the word is that this service will start in 2024.
The Juara Express ferry would be a great addition to the fleet of Tioman ferries, as so far, none goes direct to Juara, necessitating disembarking at Tekek and then taking a cross-Tioman taxi to Juara.
Hopefully Juara Express can roll out its direct Tanjung Gemuk to Juara line shortly.
