What to do in Indian beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

For those who wish to engage in something more extreme than a lazy holiday on the beach, it is worth noting that Indian beach is excellent for surfing. This kind of activity is suitable for beginners and for professionals. The waves in this region you can see in the photos above or study the reviews by our users. And by the way, on the beach you can take surfing coaches!

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Indian beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

The beach offers excellent access for families, which is great. Although it requires a bit of effort to reach due to the uphill hike, the presence of decent parking and bathrooms is always appreciated.

I really enjoy this place. There are restrooms available and a designated area to rinse your feet. The boardwalk leading from the parking lot, which is surrounded by trees, down to the dunes is incredibly smooth. The view is absolutely breathtaking and the location is stunning, situated between the emerald and Atlantic oceans. I usually make a point to stop here, even if it's just for a quick glimpse of the sun and water, before heading to another location. I highly recommend this spot for a perfect beach day. It's definitely a 10/10.

The access point to the beach was absolutely stunning. It's a bit of a walk from the parking area, so make sure you have some wheels on your ice chest. However, the beach itself was simply beautiful. It had significantly less wind compared to other beaches, making it a great spot to relax. Moreover, it's perfect for families with kids, as the water is shallower and the current is much gentler.

I absolutely adore this place! The restrooms are surprisingly well-maintained considering that it's a free beach. The parking area provides ample shade, perfect for those scorching summer days, and the pathway leading to the beach is simply stunning. It has become a tradition for me to visit this beach every year on my birthday for the past five years.
