Serenity Beach
A beach in Kottakuppam, home to surf schools, backpacker cafés, and a weekend handicraft flea market.
Serenity Beach is located in Kottakuppam, about 5 km north of Puducherry (in Tamil Nadu). It is the best beach nearby for surfing. Several surf schools offer introductory lessons lasting one to two hours. The surroundings include backpacker hostels, yoga studios, and cafés, and a handicraft flea market is held on weekends. Currents are strong, so visitors who are not surfing should not venture far out. It can be scheduled on the same day as Auroville.
