Sanguthurai Beach-Tourist spot,Nagercoil

No one would have forgotten Tsunami that affected tamilnadu and the coastal areas in the year 2004. The above beach is situated exactly 6 kms from Nagercoil town. We can see several coconut groves on the way to the beach. Some key land marks are Sivanthi Adithanar college, a Christian church and a school in the village called Athicaud.Many people would be knowing the beach adjacent to this one .i e Chothavilai beach. I have attached the photos now you can see the calm sea have you seen how a dog watching this waves of the sea without a fear I mean enjoying its loneliness. The fisher man in the coastal areas are adjoined to this beach are Pallam and Puthanthurai.





It was an old story that an old shepherd who lived in this place 500 years before, still his ghost roam there in the nights of this beach area. There was a mystical belief that they hear the sound of that old shepherd even now in nights and they call it as Idapeiy. May be this reason or not the beach has not developed much.









Earlier some initiatives taken by the government to develop this place as a local tourist spot but after Tsunami this and other adjoining beach Chothavilai had lost its importance. If the local authorities think about this they can develop this beach as another prominent tourist spot.
