À propos
Faits rapides: Les vagues rugueuses maintiennent les nageurs près du rivage, mais l'étendue sablonneuse de 200 mètres de large attire plus de 5 000 visiteurs le week-end. Le mémorial Karl Schmidt à l'extrémité nord raconte l'histoire d'un marin néerlandais qui s'est noyé en 1930 en essayant de sauver une femme des courants.
Points forts: Avant le lever du soleil, des dizaines de cercles de rire yoga et de groupes de fitness réclament leur place le long du rivage, leurs rires synchronisés se mêlant aux vagues qui s'écrasent. Des vendeurs avec des lampes à huile posées sur des chariots en bois font frire des bajji et du sundal, l'arôme de l'huile chaude et des épices flottant dans l'obscurité précédant l'aube.
Conseils d'initiés
- Come on Sunday mornings around 6 AM to see the laughter yoga clubs and Zumba groups in full swing near the memorial.
- Walk 300 meters south of the main entrance for noticeably cleaner sand and half the crowd density even on holidays.
- Bring a thin cotton mat or sarong since the sand heats up quickly by 9 AM, especially from March through June.
- The Velankanni Church across East Coast Road has shaded benches and a cool interior perfect for escaping the midday sun.
