A long sandy beach, towering red laterite cliffs and soothing mineral springs put Varkala in the not-to-miss category. Papanasam is a perfect place to watch the sunset or relax gazing at the horizon. The area is covered with coconut palms and small restaurants that mushroom during the season. The 500-metre stretch is right below a cliff. And, for the extreme lovers of water sports there are - Parasailing, Scuba diving, Windsurfing and lots more. Be awe-struck at the force of the sea waves as they crash against the rocky clusters near the Varkala beach; build sand castles and relax under a coconut palm on the beautiful Varkala beach as you spend a refreshing holiday in this part of Kerala.
