While traveling from Trivandrum to Irinjalakuda, we decided to take the scenic route along NH66 after turning off at Alappuzha Bypass. We thoroughly enjoyed the journey, especially when we stumbled upon Ottamassery Beach near Ernakulam. This hidden gem felt like our own private paradise, with only a few fishermen and ourselves on the beach. The abandoned boats added to the charm of the pristine white sand, which was incredibly soft. The calm waters made for a relaxing stroll along the shore, almost dipping our toes in the water. A definite must-visit for beach lovers.

Located just a short drive under 3km from St Marys Forane church, Thanky Beach has a lot to offer. Positives include its convenient location next to the Coastal Highway, ample car parking space, friendly locals, and a calm, clean, and white beach. It is also less crowded, allowing for a peaceful experience. Visitors can enjoy walking from the parking area to the rock embankments, where they can climb for a better view of the sea. The beach is also noted as a good fishing spot. However, there are some negatives to consider. Thanky Beach does not have lifeguards on duty, and there are no commercial activities available, meaning no access to drinking water or food. Visitors should also exercise caution when climbing the rock embankments and avoid going to the end of these rocks.
