"Nice beach. Bit of a rush sometimes, specially weekends. Still a nice place to spend time with your family and friends."
Ajay Jayakumar
"One of the good beaches near Cherthala town. Comparatively easy to reach as traffic is not that much on this route. Only downside being we need to cross a Railway Level Cross Gate, which if we are unlucky might lead to missing the time for sunset. I wisited there on 31-Dec-23 for sunset and luckily the gate was open and reached there before sunset"
