These Mabua Pebbles were believed to be deposited by very strong forward waves pushing it onshore.
Walking barefoot on the smooth stones is also therapeutic. Aside from the free foot massage, it can also soothe our feet’s reflex points which are connected to different parts of our body.

This beautiful beachscape even has the perfect sunset that would awe you as it changes from blue to different shades of red and orange.
Complete the experience and have fun by swimming in the cool waters, playing volleyball or throwing a Frisbee on the beach or go kayaking.
