There's nothing more enjoyable than spending time by the seaside. Gather the troops, put together a picnic and enjoy some fresh air at Varkala Beach.

Varkala Beach is an interesting place to begin your day of discovery in India. This stretch of coastline comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Set aside time for other sights like Varkala Cliff, Kappil Beach, and Anchuthengu and Anjengo Fort to really enjoy what the area has to offer.
