Pebble Beach, Tiwi
The relaxed stop on the Tiwi coast everyone drives straight past.
Smooth stones instead of sand, clear water, and the Sur coast's cliffs behind you. Minutes from Wadi Shab and Wadi Tiwi, it's the easy decompression stop after a wadi morning, and next door hides the Romantic Cave.
