Yarada Beach
యారాడ బీచ్
A quiet bay south of Dolphin's Nose, ringed by hills on three sides, with golden sand, few crowds and great scenery; a good escape from the city bustle.
Yarada Beach lies south of the harbour, behind Dolphin's Nose. Green hills surround it on three sides, while the other side opens onto the Bay of Bengal. Its wide, clean sand sees far fewer visitors than RK Beach. Getting there means driving a hill road around the port area, with lovely views along the way. The waves and undertows are strong, so swimming is not recommended. It's ideal for walking, photography and watching the sunset. The beach has a few snack stalls and limited facilities, so bring your own drinking water and head back before dark.
