Incredible Beaches of India...

Beaches have attracted people for generations. Be it India or any other country, beaches always charm people with their elegance. India too resonates its earth with a number of beaches. In fact the entire coastal range is filled with various beaches, be it small or a big one. But just like any other countries, India too has a choice of the famous ones and the not so famous ones. Some of the very famous ones are Alpazuha Beach, Calangute Beach, Mallampura Beach, Anjuna Beach and so on.

Beginning from South there is the Mamallapuram Beach which also houses the famous Mallampura Temples considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The silent shore does not attract a number of people, and it is this silence which makes people sit here for hours.

A little down from here, is the place called the heaven. Kerala, the Gods own country, has some of the most beautiful beaches around. Like the Alpazuha beach. Alpazuha is not only famous for its beautiful beach but also for its backwaters. Alpazuha beach is also a popular picnic beach.

Then there is the Kovalam Beach which is the internationally acclaimed beach having three adjacent crescents. Ayurvedic massage parlous, yoga centers and water sports facilities are some of the major attractions of this beach.

Apart from these if you are more interested in watching the sunset and the sunrise than the Varkala Beach of Kerala is the best. Just 42 kms from Thiruvanathpuram, the sands of Varkala become one of the religious destinations of South India. Thiruvanathpuram is one of the major cities of South India.


A little below all these are the beaches of Goa. Numerous beaches, all as beautiful as the other one attract people to spend their holidays here. Like the Calangute beach, Candolim Beach, Vagator Beach, Baga Beach, Agonda Beach, Mobor Beach - all of them are unique in their own sense. Out of these the Mobor and Cavelossim Beaches are a bit different ones. Both beaches are relatively isolated and there are few beach sharks here. Mobor beach on the other hand has a number of seagulls coming to the shores. Mobor also has a small fishing village with a small lagoon near the mouth of the river which makes it more adventurous.


And at one of the end of all these stand apart the beaches of Andaman and Nicobar. Out of the 27 beaches only 10 beaches are open for tourists. The best thing about these beaches are they are very clean and have the green and azure blue water in their shores. And the attractions too keep adding on, like snorkeling, boating, dolphin seeking, kayaking and so on...


With the best of the beaches and the best of water entertainment there is no reason why one is not here...
