Kanyakumari is the southern most tip of India. It is the place of union for
the three oceans - The Arabian sea, Bay of Bengal and the Indian ocean meet
here. Kanyakumari is an important pilgrimage center, attracting several
thousand pilgrims to its surroundings. Sunrise and sunset are spectacular,
especially on full moon days. 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. Its beauty
and charm offers a welcome change to the tourists and pilgrims. A variety of
shells are on sale on Kanyakumari beach.Sightseeing at Kanyakumari

It is a bathing ghat, with steps leading into the water and a sort of lagoon formed between land by a series of rocks. People bathe and jump around, getting lightly battered by the remains of waves, which are washing over the rocks.
