On the western edge of the beach there is a mosque and an empty space that is now used as a parking lot. Entering the cave, will be found natural wells where people get fresh water.Areas described above prior to 1930 are still submerged ocean. That said, the water to a region that is now a mosque, which form the rock caves were still submerged in water.As the geological processes on the south coast, sea water recede and more jutting into the sea. The coral reef and the area around the mosque became new land which is then exploited coastal residents for economic activity to date.There is a unique natural phenomenon due to the activity that eventually became the starting point of naming this beach. During the wet season, a lot of water flowing from land to sea. As a result, the plains on the east coast of splitting to form a formation like a river. Water that flows like mbedah (splitting) of sand. When the drought came, crevice disappeared and since the sea water came in with sand. This natural phenomenon is what causes the name to be Wedibedah beach (sand is split).The name change took place several decades later.Around the year 1976, there is an interesting event. One afternoon, a dog was running around the beach area and enter the cave corals met with a sea urchin. Because the hungry, the dog was intended to eat the sea urchin, but the hedgehog escape.

Hypothesis, in the cave there is water and the dog had drowned while pursuing porcupines. After trying out some investigations, the prediction turned out correct. Be present, the water in a cave used for purposes of the population live. From inside the cave, now installed pipes to connect with residents. The findings of this spring treat disappointment because of the well established residents were inundated by sea water.If the condition in 1930 just as said above, can be estimated condition of hundreds of years earlier. Certainly very many organisms that take advantage of the lower coral caves now and what is now the mainland.
