Three crescent-shaped beaches, separated by rocky outcroppings, constitute the chief attraction of this coastal town. Backed by the palm-covered steep headlands, the beaches are lined with a host of shops that offer all kinds of goods and services, creating an unmistakably resort-like atmosphere.
Shallow waters, stretching hundreds of metres, are ideal for swimming. The vast expanse of shimmering sea, sandy coves, rocky outcroppings over the water, exuberant surf and brilliant sunshine impart an unreal quality to this popular beach destination in Kerala.
