Small island l.. Good place

It's located on small island. Around 500 mtrs from main land. But it was closed due to maintenance when we have visited. But from boat we saw this. Overall I recommend this place.

Imposing statue

The statue which stands tall just beside the Vivekanda Rock is definitely a standout of Kanyakumari. It looks impressive even from afar, but regrettably the ferry no longer makes a stop at this statue..
