Attraction

Om Beach

Gokarna, Karnataka

The famous natural golden sand beach shaped exactly like the sacred spiritual symbol Om, popular for water sports and independent cafes.

Attraction

Papanasam Beach

Varkala Beach, Kerala

The golden sand stretch below the cliffs, popular for swimming, surfing, and historic ritual sunset cleansing baths.

Attraction

Radhanagar Beach

Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep), Andaman & Nicobar Islands

A long west-facing crescent with nothing built behind it, which is why it photographs the way it does. Lifeguards work set hours and the flags are worth obeying. Sunset is the busy hour.

Viewpoint

Radhanagar Sunset Point

Radhanagar Beach (Havelock), Andaman & Nicobar Islands

The northern end of the arc, where people gather as the light goes. The beach faces west, so the sun drops into open water — rare on this side of India.

Experience

Rishikonda Water Sports

Rishikonda Beach (Vizag), Andhra Pradesh

Surfing, jet-skiing and banana-boat rides off the beach.

Attraction

Shiva Statue & Temple

Murudeshwar Beach, Karnataka

One of the world's tallest Shiva statues beside a sea-facing temple.

Viewpoint

Shivrajpur Shoreline

Shivrajpur Beach, Gujarat

Main beach stretch for walking and sunset views.

Attraction

Sindhudurg Fort

Tarkarli (Malvan), Maharashtra

A colossal 17th-century island maritime fortress featuring massive stone walls built directly on a sea reef outcrop, accessible via ferry.

Experience

Sweet Water Lake

Arambol Beach, Goa

A freshwater lagoon just behind the beach, popular for a dip after the sea.

Viewpoint

Tithal Promenade

Tithal Beach, Gujarat

The paved beachfront, lined with food stalls. The sand at Tithal is black rather than gold, which catches first-timers out. Evenings are when all of Valsad turns up.

Experience

Titos Lane

North Goa (Baga & Calangute), Goa

The nightlife lane in Baga, clubs stacked along a couple of hundred metres. Loud and expensive, and the crowd it pulls is the crowd it pulls. Goa has a legal cut-off on amplified music outdoors at ten, which pushes everything indoors after that.
