Varkala Beach
Kerala, India
Varkala Beach is a scenic stretch of coastline in the town of Varkala, in Thiruvananthapuram district of Kerala, set along the Arabian Sea. It is especially known for its striking red laterite cliffs that rise right next to the water, making it one of the few cliff beaches in southern Kerala and a declared geological monument. The beach is also called Papanasam Beach and is linked to the nearby Janardana Swamy Temple, where devotees believe bathing in the sea and praying helps cleanse sins and bring peace to the departed. Along with quiet sunbathing and lovely sunset views, Varkala offers yoga and Ayurveda centers, small cafes, and light adventure activities like boat rides and water sports, giving it a relaxed, spiritual‑retreat feel alongside its beach‑holiday vibe.
