Good beach to walk around and spend time during early evening. Better avoid staying night. There is a nice restaurant named By the Ocean, clean and selling better snacks,tea,coffee and cool stuffs.

Beautiful beach. Lovely calm place to spend an evening with family or alone. There is a restaurant where you can have some food or tea or some snacks there. Will not recommend swimming in the sea water but can really enjoy in the shore and in water avoid going deep inside. This is a place i used to visit from my child hood times and i normally go there alone sit peacefully and listen to ilayaraja music that’s a meditation.

Its a quite but still dirty place. Very less people are there and most are locals. So much garbage of firecrackers and old boat , which makes the scenario bad. But if you ignore it it's a very good beach to spend time with yourself and your family.
