A beach always looks amazing and refreshing because of the beauty of the sea water, the rising and falling waves, the lovely breeze and the sand beneath our feet. Any soul is bound to fall in love with such a beauty. Now, imagine the scenic beauty of a beach formed at the meeting point of three seas!! That's what makes Kanya Kumari (located in the state of Tamilnadu, India) a hot spot for tourists. Three different seas, the Bay of Bengal, the Indian ocean and the Arabian sea, meet here making this beach a unique and amazing beauty. This town is very well connected with major cities in south India. The nearest airport is Trivandrum at just 90km away.
Three different colors of water, three different colors of sand and the lovely rocks on the beach offer an entirely different kind of relaxing experience. This unique geographical location at the southern most tip of India offers a nature lover the mind blowing views of both the sunrise and sunset over the sea water. Hundreds of tourists who visit this place daily make sure that they don't miss these scenic views. Bathing in the holy water here which is formed due to meeting point of three seas is believed to purify oneself. People taking their holy bath here is a common sight here.
This is a place which almost never sleeps. Even at the night most
tourists are often sighted shopping or relaxing at the beach. The
special steaming Tamilnadu
idlis,which melt in your mouth instantly can be enjoyed at
the beach any time. Shoppers find many items made of sea shells at
reasonable prices at various stalls along their way to the beach.The
beach looks so colorful and lively that it lifts one's mood instantly.
Playing
in the water with my son and collecting sea shells are the two most
things I had done extensively on this beach. We almost spent two full
days on the beach right from dawn to the dusk and even at nights for a
long time. This was the most lovely experience among all the trips I
went on till now and I had taken a promise from my darling that we visit
this beauty one more time in the nearing future.
Though my lens was not enough to cover the beauty of this place, here's my attempt !!
