Varkala Beach

Varkala Beach, in the coastal town of Varkala in Kerala, India, is renowned for its unique geological formation known as Varkala Formation, towering cliffs adjacent to the Arabian Sea. These sedimentary formation cliffs, rich in minerals, offer stunning views and are recognized as a geological monument. For photo-travelers, capture the enchanting sunset views that paint the sky, along with the panoramic expanse of the sea. The beach also offers the picturesque Papanasam Beach, believed to wash away sins. The contrast between the azure waters, golden sands, and green cliffs provides a vibrant canvas. The Janardanaswamy Temple, an ancient shrine close by, adds spiritual and architectural elements to your photo collection. Early mornings or late afternoons are ideal for softer light, benefiting photography. Lastly, Varkala's laid-back ambiance and lesser crowd compared to other commercial beaches in Kerala afford serene, unobstructed shots.
