Pondy is known for its beautiful French villas and French food but never its beaches. But guess what? If you explore a bit, you will be surprised by the beauty of its beaches. The Promenade Beach is one of the popular spots in Pondicherry to look at the sea and find reasons to be lazy and have ice cream.

But as you move further ahead to Auroville, you'll find a beach as vast as Mumbai's Marine Lines. There are beautiful lodgings, a bit expensive but if you are going in a group, the budget won't hurt. The guest houses are a bit far away from the beach since Pondicherry doesn't have the liberty of Goa's beach shack culture.
