Sea Shells and Beaches
Sea and shells go hand in hand. And if one has got the
interest in shell collection then the best place to look out for is a
beach. The sea lovers can find the entire coastline of Andhra Pradesh
stunningly appealing, starting from Bheemunipatnam near Vishakhapatnam
down to Mypad In Nellore District.
Situated 8-kms away from Vizag is another golden, unspoilt beach,
Rishikonda, which attract tourists to visit its picturesque beach
surroundings and make most of their beach holiday. The beaches of
Pondicherry also provide a virgin setting; the golden yellow sand of the
beach area is unpolluted, making this place and noteworthy pleasure and
relaxation spot.
Manglore's
two beaches Taneerbhavi and Panambhoor are a delight to visit, or check
out the coastal pilgrimage beach centers of Ganapatipulle in Maharashtra.
One is rewarded with a varied choice of shells over here. Beyt Dwarka in
Gujarat has some fine stretches of beach, though crowded by pilgrims; you
can always find a quiet spot to relax.
Malpe in Karnataka is another coastal pilgrimage beach centers with a
sheltered harbour making it a quiet beach retreat, just 6-kms away from
Udupi, the temple town, renowned for a fascinating idol of Lord Krishna.
Close to Malpe is Ullal, yet another beach resort, the silvery beaches of
which command breathtaking views of the sunset, especially, when viewed
through the Casuarina groves. Marwanthe beach is a very family kind of
beach where one can come to in the evenings to just relax and let the
smooth breeze caress you and tease your hair.
Still, the foremost shell collector's destinations are the islands of
Lakshadweep and Andaman & Nicobar. The natural beauty has stayed
unspoiled, as each island and beaches of Lakshadweep and Andaman and
Nicobar has existed since time immemorial, with little influence from the
outside world.
