Moj Feshan of Chabahar

Moj Afshan, also called Moj Feshan (the "wave sprayer"), lies on Daryaye Bozorg Beach (Bozorg Sea Beach), southeast of Chabahar. Waves crashing against the rocks along this shore create beautiful scenery. Waves here can rise to more than 2 metres, and in summer, when the monsoon winds blow, it is one of the region's most popular natural attractions for visitors.

Many people know Moj Afshan as a natural fountain. You can see it on most days of the year, but the summer spouts, especially in Mordad (late July to late August), are so high that they are sure to thrill you. The force of the water shooting out depends on many factors, such as the month of the year, the wind, the speed of the waves and so on. It starts at around three to four metres and sometimes reaches as high as twenty metres. In the first half of the year, the strong waves hitting the rocky shore flush out the sand that had filled the crevices in the rocks. Once the crevices are empty, water striking the rock at speed is forced out through the opening under high pressure, and a wave spout is born. These holes are the result of many years of erosion of the rocks. The main cause of this phenomenon is the monsoon winds, which speed up the waves and increase the force with which they hit the rocks. This is why in Mordad you will see even taller spouts.

Swimming here is not recommended at all and is very dangerous, because the beach stands high above the water level. Instead, you can stroll along the shore and sit and watch the turtles and crabs.
