Poompuhar Beach

Keelaiyur, Tamil Nadu, India

Poompuhar Beach in Keelaiyur, Tamil Nadu, India, stretches along the Bay of Bengal for about 3 km from the Kaveri River mouth northward to Neithavasal, forming a golden sandy shoreline protected by granite boulders against erosion.

Once the heart of ancient Kaveripoompattinam—an thriving Chola port city from the 4th century BC celebrated in Sangam literature like Silappathikaram for trade, arts, and culture—its submerged ruins evoke a lost maritime hub.

Today a serene picnic spot drawing crowds for Chitra Pournami festival dips during April-May full moon, it features the nearby seven-tiered Silapathikaram Art Gallery showcasing epic sculptures and an Underwater Archaeological Museum displaying excavated relics, 24 km from Mayiladuthurai.
