    A nice beach to hangout with friends and family in the evening. You can spent the entire evening in the beach enjoying the sea and have good food from the small stalls there. The evening vibe here is awesome.
  • By Venkat Rao
    Its an excellent, peaceful and serene place to be in the evening. Sunset view is awesome. Though it all depends on your luck whether the sun sets on the horizon or much before that in the cloudy sky.
