If there is one thing your girlfriend will definitely ask you once for sure, is a romantic walk on a beautiful beach. And if you are single, seeing a sunset with waves coming towards you, though alone, is still a moment you will cherish always. But all of this will not meet your expectations if the beach is full of people, litter or just too much of anything. The sound of loud music from a shack, or a bunch of tourists playing football all over the place may interrupt your ventures. Plus, you chose the destination because of its natural beauty, not the social chaos you witness.
No need to think twice, just go through the words of wisdom we have culled for you here. These are the most stunning and exotic beaches of India. These pristine beauties will awe you the moment you enter them, and leave you overwhelmed when you leave.
Havelock Island beach, Andaman
An island modeled on the philosophy of eco-tourism, Havelock beaches are so beautiful that one never wants to leave this place. The lighthouse recently made on the beach has added on to the picturesque landscape. A small population which are mainly Bengali settlers keep the island very clean, and a holiday here can be one of the most soothing vacations ever.
Lighthouse beach, Kovalam
The Malabar coast is one of the longest, and here resides this piece of art. The way it is designed by the almighty, it sure is hard to take your eyes off it. A crescent-shape beach, with a 30-metre high monumental lighthouse at the end looks boggling to the mortals. You can enjoy campfires here as they have special pits made for the purpose, and the Arabian sea is open for many water sports. From Kochi hotel booking is easy for Kovalam, as you will get a local insight from there. The green palm trees on one side, and the orange sky on the other make the evenings at Kovalam priceless.
Gopalpur beach, Orissa
A few miles from Behrampur, Gopalpur has a surprise for you. Do not mistake this beach for a deserted one, but it has all the amenities, regular or luxury, for you. Prior being a commercial port, this beach is now home to many tourists for a relaxing trip. And a crumbling Jetty adds on to its port vibes, giving it a different kind of feel. These white sand dunes are also a home to sailors and surfers on the Eastern coast of India.
Anjuna beach, Goa
This North Goa beach is the best of both worlds. The place has sand bed and a rocky beach too. But that's not what we meant from the best of world's reference. Anjuna is world-famous for the Trance parties organised here and the hippie lifestyle you get see here. So apart from calming your mind by its panoramic terrain, you can experience the psychedelic Goa too!
Bangaram beach, Lakshadweep
You will be taken aback for once when you get to see this place. It is not just about the beauty, but also the exclusiveness. It is a secluded island and the connectivity is also minimal. But once you reach there, you get the best tourist experience as it is everything you want on a vacation. You can see many species of tropical birds adding to the view. Reaching here is a journey in itself, literally. From your room of any of the hotels in mumbai you can leave the encasing of the walls for a port, and cruise your way over the sea to this heart-melting place.
Paradise beach, Gokarna
Never heard of it? Exactly.
It is also known as the "Forbidden Beach", as the police doesn't let you stay here. And also to reach here you have to trek for a long way, because it is not directly connected from the main roads. But it is worth it. The police patrols there on intervals so you might not encounter them if it is your lucky day. You can do your hotel booking in bangalore itself for Gokarna as there are many shacks and hotels providing that service. There is nothing on the beach except many coconut trees. So if you plan to go there, make sure you have all the amenities with you.
I have spent a night with my friends here, and we were all alone. We camped in a tent and built a campfire, and sat under the moonlight watching the waves coming at us. It is hard to explain how peaceful it was. We were lucky that the patrol party was nowhere to see. Hence, a successful adventure!
And we find ourselves on the end of this ride. These beaches are something else, and you will not want to miss them. But then, most of them generally never get to.
Are you fortunate enough?
