Detail InformationEdit

Sanguthurai Beach, is a very pretty beach about 16 kilometers (10 miles) from Kanyakumari. From this beach you can see as far as the Vivekananda Rock Memorial sharing space with the stone sculpture of Tamil poet, Thiruvalluvar. Away from the clamor of main Kanyakumari town, Sanguthurai is a quieter place to spend an evening strolling on the yellow sand and simply gazing at the sea. The beach looks particularly serene at sundown cast in a warm orange glow. Largely untouched until a few years ago, today the beach looks fully urbanized with snack stalls, a children’s park, gazebo-style sitting area with terracotta roofs and better lighting arrangement. The present infrastructure step up could be to make Sanguthurai more touristy, but this has manifestly taken away from its secluded beauty. Despite the ramp up, fortunately, the beach doesn’t receive a surge of visitors which makes it ideal to enjoy time in solitude, collect seashells, examine the crabs that swim ashore, watch the sunset or simply lounge on the sand and contemplate.
