Muzhappilangad Drive-in Beach - Only Drive-in Beach in Asia
Muzhappilangad Drive-in Beach, a lengthy stretch of 4 kilometres can be driven with ease as easily as in smooth roads, this is probably among the best drive-in beaches in the world. And it is the only drive-in beach in India as well as in Asia. Since the late 90's, the beach has seen a steady influx of tourists during winter. Sorry for its location, this beach is yet listed far below in a tourist itinerary. And thanks to its location again, the beach holds the natural beauty and potential for the activity it is famed for. Another interesting feature of this coastline is the black rock formations. They take off the strength of the waves.
Water splashes gently around small clusters of rocks, which is a sight to behold. So, the beach is often considered a swimmers paradise as the black rocks protect the beach from deep currents. Even with such an added advantage, swimming here is less focussed than driving. There are a lot of delicious shacks options along the way that one can lie on one of the rocks enjoying the vast expanse of blue. One can also safely walk into the sea for several hundred meters. The coconut trees swaying in the wind and the rocks surrounding the ocean add the beauty of the beach.
