The best beach experience in Kerala. What makes the Varkala beach special is it's long uninterrupted, & safe beach with clear water, the cliffs overlooking the beach where you have myriad of options for eating, drinking and shopping, and the amount of events they daily host. They also have people who gives paragliding experiences.

Varkala beach is definitely the most happening beach of Kerala, we had a great time there.
