Heading out to a beach has its own set of fun that it carries for a traveller. The sun kissed sand, frothy sea waves and the hot sun make for a relaxing time.
It is also a perfect place to indulge in various sports activities like beach volleyball, swimming, surfing and more. Travellers come from far and wide to these beaches to escape from the noise of the city and to enjoy in this timless solitude.
What makes these beaches even more interesting are the cliffs that are to be found here where you can climb onto the top and enjoy the panoramic view.
Vagator Beach
Vagator beach is known for its views of soft white sands, coconut palms and the Arabian Sea. Located amidst rocky cliffs in the shadowy palms, Vagator is popular for its chain of beaches.

Yarada Beach
Yarada beach is very close to the city of Vishakapatnam and is hence a popular getaway for both tourists and locals. The beach offers a splendid view as it is surrounded by lush green hills on its three sides and the vast Bay of Bengal on its fourth side.
The beach is located amidst greenery and soft golden sand. The beach is ideal for a short getaway as it provides travellers with serenity and calmness and it is also extremely clean and well-maintained.

This beach is all about simplicity and lesser known treasures such as the freshwater lake adjoining it. The beach has a cliff around it and travellers coming here can trek to its top to enjoy the view of this pristine beach and the clear sea water.

Varkala Beach
Varkala is a beautiful coastal town nestled in Thiruvananthapuram district of Kerala. It is the only region in the state where the hills come close to the sea.
The uniqueness of this place is the merging of cliffs with the Arabian Sea. Travellers coming here can relax on the beach or trek up the cliff and enjoy the amazing view of the region from up here.
