Kanyakumari- located at the southernmost tip of the Indian Peninsula, its former name was Cape Comorin.

The Kanyakumari beach is a beautiful sight with multi-coloured sand. The beach here does not really offer one the opportunity to sunbathe on soft golden sands, or to frolic in the waves either because of rocky and dangerous seashore.

The sea is fairly rough, so it is entertaining to watch it beat itself against the rocks .With long stretches of sands of many hues, the beach offers a welcome change.

The place is also famous for its distinctly beautiful (reddish) sunrise and sunset. The confluence of three ocean bodies – the Bay of Bengal, the Indian Ocean, and the Arabian Sea - makes the sunrise and sunset even more special.

On balmy, full-moon evenings one can also see the moon-rise and sunset at the same time – on either side of the horizon. A variety of shells are on sale on the Kanyakumari beach.
