Awesome place for sun raise and sun set. Sea shells and stones can be collected. Can have awesome bath as it is not shallow and waves are soft. You can see crabs, sea weed corals and sometimes Fisher men with boat and fresh catch. On the way to this place you can see the thermal power plant and from the beach the harbor lights and ships are visible and sets the mood. The lighting is good with flood lights at night and there are small bajji shops. Bus is available to and fro from tuticorin old bus stand. Sundays there is good crowd, other days there are people who come to jog or play foot ball etc basically good solitude and time to ponder...

The beach was really the best spot to hangout with your family and friends. The roadways that lead to beach is well laid down and the scenery along the way and at the beach is extraordinary. Especially during the evening with people being packed and while th sun is about to set it's a treat for every photogenic people. It was such a beautiful view with sky turning into beautiful orange. The night view is very beautiful too comparatively. The lights show such a view. But people slowly starts to leave unlike in marina beach. So it's till sunset the crowd stands. Has a really good parking space. Not much food stalls available...
