One of nature's many wonders, the sea recedes massively from the beach during ebb and returns to fill the emptiness during high tide. This hide-and-seek of the sea comes to play twice a day and seeing the sea disappear and then return is an unforgettable experience.
The best part of this place is that it is elevated as a high platform with benches to seat properly. There is a statue of APJ Abdul Kalam and whole platform as well as path coming towards beach is lighted during night.
