Dhanushkodi Beach Tourism

Type of destination: Beach/Natural Attraction

Ideal visit duration: 2 to 4 hours

Closed in: None

Dhanushkodi Beach, on the southeastern coast of Tamil Nadu, India, is a serene stretch of sandy shores located at the southeastern tip of Pamban Island, about 20 kilometers from Rameswaram. It is uniquely positioned, bordered by the Bay of Bengal on one side and the Indian Ocean on the other. Known for its tranquil beauty, the beach is also steeped in history; it was once a bustling town before being decimated by the 1964 Rameswaram cyclone. What remains today are the haunting ruins of a church, railway station, and other structures, partially buried in sand, serving as a poignant reminder of nature's force. The beach is accessible via a narrow strip of land which runs through the sea - making the journey as picturesque as the destination itself. Dhanushkodi is a place where one can witness the remarkable phenomenon of converging water bodies - the calm Bay of Bengal meets the tumultuous Indian Ocean.
