About Kanyakumari Beach
From the sandy shores on Kanyakumari Beach, you can see the Vivekananda Rock Memorial. During the day there are crowds; people dip their feet into the ocean, but with the many rocks it’s not safe to swim. The sunrise and sunset at this beach is worthwhile. The sky grows red behind the Vivekananda Rock Memorial. For daytime swimming and relaxation, try a hotel pool instead.
