This beach offers a breathtaking blend of natural beauty and local charm. Its high waves are perfect for thrill-seeking surfers, while the sight of fishermen boats dotting the horizon adds a picturesque charm. Ideal for early risers seeking tranquility and adventure.

The beach is good to visit with family and friends. However, the place is not as neat as the other beaches near White Town and Paradise Beach. There is a lot of waste on the seashore, but you can collect many varieties of shells if you love them. The car parking facility is fine. There is no parking fee.

6 Pleasant

Nice beach located very close to the Highway and so you don't need to walk a lot to reach the shore. The water is quite clean, however the approach to the beach could have been more cleaner and organized. The fish boats are spread around block the access and obstruct the view of the beach. Parking is a little messy and on the week end could be challenging to find a spot for your car. If you rent a scooter or bike then it is a lot easier. Overally, a good one to soak in nice and sunny weather and fresh water of the beautiful the Bay of Bangal .

A fisherman's locality. Visited by many tourists. But one can witness some unruly youngsters also sometimes. This stretch has a lot of beach side hotels. One can stay there.
