Varkala Beach blesses every visitor with the undiluted joy of being an explorer, even if for the short duration of a memorable journey. If you were a mariner sailing towards the coast of south Kerala, at Varkala a ragged line of red cliffs would greet you. The green coconut palms and the deep blue sky add a stunning contrast to this silhouette.

The northern cliff from Varkala descends into the Thiruvambady Black Sand Beach a short stretch for those seeking silence and serenity by the sea. It is also possible to climb down from the Northern cliff or drive down to reach here. This beach offers all amenities of the north cliff minus the bustle of the shops.
