The sea here is actually blue due to the less, almost minimal pollution around. The beach is not overly crowded either and thus it offers the peace and quiet one needs which one doesn't usually get at typical Indian beaches. The shore has many red flags which indicate where it is dangerous to swim. Do not mistake them for CPIM... More

I really enjoyed every minute what I spend in this beach. It was quite clean and nice. If you go to Varkala, you definitely have to visit that place ;)

You will not single plastic on the beach. Beach is maintained very cleanly. All shop are on the Cliff only. So it make beach very good place for spending time. Romantic. Filled with foreigner most of the time.

Really clean beach and sea and great place to unwind for a few days. Also the cliff has lots of places to eat, shop and have ayurvedic massages to relax. Unforgettable vacation!

Wonderful beach. One should not miss the sunset, seaching words to praise the nature.... It is about 60-70Kms from Trivandrum by road. It may take around an hour and half. I enjoyed every bit of this beach. Go and enjoy!

Nice clean beach, but you did get sand blasted by the wind. Very Indian at one end, so cover up, more touristy at the other end.

Beautiful beach, only thing I was disappointed about were there weren't any sunbeds of umbrellas which made it impossible to sunbath as it was far to hot without at least an umbrella for shade.However there are plenty of places to sit ad have a drink whilst enjoying the view.

Lots of international people and met many from my country. Enjoyed it very much. Good water sports too.
