Charming Spots near Kanyakumari Beach
The Sangam

It is bathing ghat, with steps leading into the water and a sort of lagoon formed in between the land by a series of rocks. People bath and jump around, getting lightly caressed by the remains of the wave.

Vivekananda's Rock

Oceanic Activities
The beach is a breathtaking sight with multi-hued sand, but it does not really offer one the opportunity to sunbathe on soft golden sands, or to play with the waves either. The seashore is rocky and dangerous, and there is a manmade wall running along it. People are advised to stay off the rocks, and if someone ventures out of bound, he or she is quickly and severely rebuked by a watchful policeman. There is a lighthouse from where one can get a panoramic view.
