The beach
is a beautiful sight with multi-coloured sand, but it does not
really offer one the opportunity to sunbathe on soft golden
sands, or to frolic in the waves either. The seashore is rocky
and dangerous, and there is a manmade wall running along it.
People are warned to stay off the rocks, and when if someone
ventures out of bounds, he or she is quickly and severely reprimanded
by a watchful policeman. There is a lighthouse from where one
can get a panoramic view.
The sea is fairly rough,
so it is entertaining to watch it beat itself against the rocks
and then subside, before it gathers itself up for another attack.
With long stretches of sands of many hues, the beach offers
a welcome change. A variety of shells are on sale on the Kanyakumari
beach.
History& Attractions of Kanyakumari Beach:
The Sangam :
Sangam is the meeting point of the three major
bodies of water, the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea and the
Indian Ocean. It is a bathing ghat, with steps leading into
the water and a sort of lagoon formed between land by a series
of rocks. People bathe and jump around, getting lightly battered
by the remains of waves, which are washing over the rocks
Vivekananda's
Rock :
Kanyakumari is famous for Vivekananda's rock,
a huge stone rising out of the sea, on which Swami Vivekananda
is said to have meditated. It now houses the statue of Vivekananda
and is a memorial to him. Not surprisingly, Kanyakumari is a
popular destination for Vivekananda's followers, so there are
many Bengalis here, and some Bengali hotels and restaurants
are available too.
