Yanam Beach
Puducherry, India
Yanam Beach, also known as Rajiv Gandhi Beach, is a serene and lesser-known coastal spot in Yanam, an enclave of Puducherry on India's east coast along the Gauthami Godavari River, about 9 km from the Bay of Bengal. This tranquil stretch features soft sandy shores, gentle waves, coconut palms, and stunning sunsets, making it ideal for relaxation, picnics, walks, and water activities like boating or kayaking, away from crowds. Once part of a French colony until 1954, it retains cultural influences with nearby French-era churches and offers fresh seafood from local shacks, best visited from October to March for pleasant weather.
