The walk upto the beach is lined with a number of small shops selling huge variety of stuff made of sea shells etc. Beach itself is small & clean and there's uninterrupted view to the horizon with a few other visitors, without any boat or sun bathers. We spent about an hour there walking on sand & marveling at the pollution free environment & clear sky. Ruins of church & other buildings added a surreal touch.

This is a much celebrated point at the confluence of the Palk Straits and Gulf of Mannar. They say you can sight the Sri Lankan coast from here. We had no such luck even on a clear day. But I got a welcome SMS from Airtel Sri lanka! There was a time when the Dhanushkodi Island could be reached by a scary causeway across the sea. In 2016 the Highways department opened a 20 kms highway that cuts across the two seas. On one side is the Palk Straits and Gulf of Mannar is on the other. They are 2 different shades of blue and easily distinguishable. The drive is very enjoyable. It might be a good idea to park your vehicle some distance before the end of the highway: on a busy day, that point chokes with vehicles trying to reverse and turn back after sightseeing. You could combine the trip to Kothandarama Temple, which is only a small diversion from the highway 10 kms before the Dhanushkodi beach

Although the beach is nice and unique, don't anticipate anything out of the ordinary—rather, it feels like the end of India. On the sandy water, we had fun. Though we just arrived on schedule before 5 PM, please be mindful of the time. Many vendors selling sea-related items. The prices are the same everywhere, so don't waste your time looking for a good deal. The sunrise and sunset are really pleasing. Rameswaram is 20 km away, but we had no trouble as we had a rental car.
