Good small beach for tourists and pilgrims. But need to maintain the beach clean and litter free. It's also the responsibility of the people to take care of our Environment. Clean water, less waves and good view from the beach. Definitely recommended place to visit

Amazing place. Clean water. Weekdays the crowd is less. The beach is known for its calm waves, hence great for playing in the water. Short shore. The Lord Hanuman temple by the shore is small, simple, peaceful and well maintained. Knowing the mythological importance of the place makes it even more interesting. Huge paid parking space is available next to the temple.

Both pilgrims and authorities should take more care to keep the beach clean and litter free. This requires sustained awareness campaigns and persuation.
