Route to lake is good

Route to lake is good but beach itself is not worth it. Its far from city and crowd is not so great to relax.

Weekend drive

Awesome place with the combination of backwater and beach . It could have been developed to attract plenty of tourist who cost Varkala Sivagiri and Varkala cliff. Can be developed as weekend family ..
