Walking on sand steps from your Naos home on the Baja coast can be a relaxing activity to enjoy with family and friends. Not only does walking in the sand improve your health and wellness, but walking on the sand barefoot can provide many benefits that you may not be aware of.

Naos at Riviera Baja makes beach walking more convenient and walking barefoot in the sand is great for the muscles in your feet and your calves.  It is much harder than walking on a flat surface and burns 20 to 50 percent more calories than walking at the same pace on a hard surface.

If your feet get hot from the warm Baja sand, you should cool them off by walking on the wet sand, which is excellent for exfoliating the dead skin cells from your feet. Sand acts as a natural exfoliant, similar to that of a body scrub or pumice stone, helping shed the old skin and improve its natural regeneration.

According ancient philosophies, life-force energy called Chi (also called Qi or Prana) can be absorbed through the soles of the feet from direct contact with nature. Ground Chi is absorbed automatically and unconsciously when walking barefoot, which increases the ability to think more clearly and live a fuller life.

Naos Living is full of rich experiences — a barefoot walk in the sand is just one of the ways Naos on the Baja coastline provides you with a rich and full life.
