A Visual Feast
Kanyakumari beach has a breathtaking sight with multi-colored sand lapped by the outreaching ocean waves. You may not find the golden sand to laze around while you sunbathe, but the beauty of colorful sands all over has their own aesthetic appeal. The seashore is rough and rocky with manmade embankment that adds to the beauty of the beach. A lighthouse stands high on the shore from where one can have a splurge of panoramic view of the area.

The merging three oceans make the seawater rough enough with the hurtling waves breaking on the shore make the sight worth cherishing. You can buy a host of colorful shells on the Kanyakumari beach for a wonderful keepsake.
