Need I say more. Beach and seafood lovers paradise. We stayed at a homestay about 5 mins walk away from the beach at a cheaper rate and with nice home cooked breakfasts. Although we had to endure the beggars on the way to the beach everyday which wasn't so nice. There were options to stay on the beach though which were pretty reasonably priced i thought. We later found out that there is a syndicate of beggars who come over from other states such as utter Pradesh. It's kind of like the mafia. The beggars are sent out to different areas to beg and then return at the end of the day with any money they have earned which is pooled up and then split between them. I guess the one clueless tourist who forks out big money pays for them all. Anyway the beach was fantastic and we had a nice swim and caught some waves. For a brief moment it felt like bliss, until the fat foreign tourists sunbathing and numerous irritating salespeople brought us back down to earth. However, I really enjoyed this beach and I will definitely be returning at some point in the future. On day two we booked in for a massage, I made the mistake of getting a deep relaxation. I think it was a bit too deep for me. The guy lathered me up with oil, I felt like I was about to be deep fried. He then pressed so hard I think I had bruises the next day. The relaxing foot massage though was incredible, I recommend this. For the rest of the time we sat and drank super strong piña coladas and mojitos on the beach for 200 rupees.
