Kanyakumari is famous for its spectacular sunrises and sunsets,especially on full moon days. The beach itself is a beautiful sight with multi-colored sand.
The beach is a beautiful sight with multi-coloured sand,but it does not really offer one the opportunity to sunbathe on soft golden sands,or to frolic in the waves either.
With long stretches of sands of many hues,the beach offers a welcome change. A variety of shells are on sale on the Kanyakumari beach.
Sangam is the meeting point of the three major bodies of water,the Bay of Bengal,the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. It is a bathing ghat,with steps leading into the water and a sort of lagoon formed between land by a series of rocks.
Kanyakumari is famous for Vivekananda's rock,a huge stone rising out of the sea,on which Swami Vivekananda is said to have meditated. It now houses the statue of Vivekananda and is a memorial to him. It is a popular destination for Vivekananda's followers.
There is a lighthouse from where one can get a panoramic view. The Government Museum offers a good collection of sculptural art crafts of Tamil Nadu. The seashore is rocky and dangerous,and there is a manmade wall running along it.
