Very Dirty Beach With Rats Roaming
Imagine a rat climbing up inside your dress and you struggling to get it out. That is what happened to me when I decided to sit in the sand in this beach to enjoy some peaceful time. That day Tamil Nadu Tourism Department had scheduled some tourism festival in the Shore Temple and huge number of local crowd came dressed up in red clothes (they were not the performers but might be invitees or supporters, I am not sure). So the beach was extremely crowded which huge amount of waste generated and dumped in the beach itself. I feel it's high time the government should take example from its neighbouring territory Pondicherry regarding the cleanliness of its beaches. The shops were literally on the edge of water and so when the waves turned big they washed away the plastic wastes of these shops itself and the shopkeepers made no attempt to clean the mess. Literally rats were coming due to that and as we went in the evening we could not see these little creatures. We sat at a distance away from the mess to get some peaceful time when a rat, probably in an attempt to escape from the crowd straight away climbed up my legs. I started panicking and almost created a scene in public until I finally managed to shake the poor creature away from under my long dress. I have visited many beaches in India but never experienced this level of dirtiness in a beach and never seen at least rats roaming. It is better to enjoy the beach near Marmoris Restaurant which was much cleaner and limited to only its customers.

Hard to Relax
The beach was a disappointment unfortunately. It has a very nice chill vibe to it, and the waves really make a large sand embankment. However, it is pretty busy, even on a weekend. It's popular with local tourists, but also with other locals who constantly bother you. Some of them bother you for things like selling stuff or services like horse-riding. Others were beggars, but they were really persistent and doing upsetting things like hurting a friendly dog in front of us for money. On top of all this, the beach is also dirty and doesn't have any toilet or shower facilities. I recommend going for a stroll here, but nothing more, it's really hard to relax here - perhaps it would be better on a private beach nearby.

Fascinating beach
Spending time in Blu Radisson resort we walked along this fascinating beach twice a day or more. Always interesting. Full of life. Beautiful people enjoying themselves, often entire families. Ladies bathing in their colorful dresses. Food stalls and boats. It gets busy near the fishing village area, and more crowded. The culmination of our walk was always the Temple majestically towering over the beach. While visiting the area enjoy this fascinating beach!
