Our Experience in Colachel Beach

The beach was really Gorgeous, long, beautiful and lovely, but lonely. When we went there at around 4pm, there was no one there. It lacked many things that it needed. Near the beach, there is no eateries, and you have to walk to the town to get any food.

There was not any water sport activities available here.

The best time is evening after 5 pm when the sun starts to set, as before that, the heat of the sun is heavy.

There is no beach side shops for purchasing any unique items of this place.

The beach is not clean, and shore is full of pet bottles and waste materials which is not being cleaned.

Washroom and toilet is not available near the beach.

So, a few basic facilities need to be implemented to make the beach more beautiful and comfortable.
