Mabua Pebble Beach was found in Mabua, Surigao City in the province of Surigao del Norte. Surigao City known as city of island adventures because of the presence of different islands and islets. But Mabua is not an island. Mabua is found along the coastlines of Surigao City’s mainland proper.
when we were in Mabua, all we have to do is SMILES…
For the first time when I set foot in Mabua Peeble Beach, I thought the place the same as when you were in Siargao and Boracay. But it is not. Sands are prohibited in the beach because natures by the way put the place into a magic circles of stones and not by sands. Wondering where the stones came from and became endemic in a place where beach usually ruled by sands and not by stones. Mabua Peeble Beach is a unique beach in Caraga as well as in the Philippines.
The Best Part And The Healthy Way
We stayed in Mt. Bagarabon Beach where stones piling up from one level to the next level maybe it were formed during the process of high tide and low tide. Sea waves form unique sounds when smashing with pebbles in the shoreline. It was sweet to your ears. The crystal clear blue water was tempting because stones clear the seashore unlike sands. You can climb the highest stone at the right side and take a glance of the world below. Different possibilities are coming in when you are in Mabua. The main thing you are closer to nature.
Looking at the stones were smooth and well-formed with different shapes but mostly oval. I tried to walk in the distance, and these stones were harmless enough when walking with your barefoot. It will give you some feelings of strength afterwards as you take back to the cottages. Intimate reflexes between your feet and the stones have the impact in your body. As we know that our feet has some reflex points that is connected to our internal organs (inviting those reflexologists to come and witness the best Mabua Peeble Beach reflex zones hehehe…). This is the way how we blend ourselves with natures.
Beautiful sunset and islands cross your eyes while relaxing in cottages that are built indigenously in a parallel setting. Horizon were so sweet especially lovers tend to be sweeter each day in this hidden paradise in the eastern part of Caraga. I remember my friend telling me that when it’s already 4:00 in the afternoon, they have to skip any routine activities from their class and jump to Mabua Pebble Beach to catch live – the beautiful sunset. It is one of the best at Mabua. Park yourself at the top of the stone hill, or just go at the mountain top and be a tough adventurer catching up how the sunset began to fade in the horizon. At this moment of our visit though clouds sneaking up the horizon, still you have to hurry-up catching the beautiful scenery of hidden sunset.
I used to take my time at the stone hill. There I refreshed myself for an hour. Taking glance of the world below you – the sea, the curve Mabua beach, peoples, islands and islets, sunset, fresh winds, and mountains…and what else. This is the world I live. Before I retire and going back to Butuan City all what is left is a memory of a hidden paradise that I treasured so much.
You can reach Surigao City for 2 hours from Butuan City by bus.
