The 15 km of long golden beach is very clean, shallow, and attracts swimming and sunbathing. This is one of the few places where we can see the lagoon (poyil) and ocean separated only by a few hundreds of metres. One of the main events in this beach is the tourism fest during december. Best season to visit is all throughout the year barring the rainy season(june - october). Tourists can find beach resorts and cottages nearby the beach.
