A very
interesting thing that must be noted is that the tourist scene on Indian
beaches have gradually changed over the course of time. It is quite surprising
to know that the tourism scenario was never the same as compared to present
times. Goa, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Orissa are few prominent
destinations from the perspective of India beach vacations. In this post, I will
put emphasis on the new trends that are surfacing on Indian beaches.
Goa Beaches
This tiny
Indian state is the most visited destination in India as far as its tourism
statistics are concerned. Popularly known as the ‘Beach Capital of India’, Goa has
a long coastline of 125 kilometers divided as North Goa and South Goa. The
current trance party scene on Goa beaches began with the arrival of the hippies
during 1960’s. They were described as the youth on a spiritual quest and considered
as insane by many people. The concept of the shacks is a great innovation for
those who are not accustomed to the heat and enjoy the sea breeze. In the
evening, these shacks transformed into a fun filled party destination.
The ambience
on Goa beaches is quite chilled out and full of happy-go-lucky people and their
clothes are characterized by bright and floral prints. Those planning to bask
in the sun swimsuits, trunks and colorful sarong are the best options. Goa is a
treat for non-vegetarians and seafood are a major specialty of its restaurants.
Don’t miss to try out Feni-the local drink made with coconut sap and cashew
nuts. The beach wedding trend is quite popular in Goa as it offers a perfect
venue complete with azure Arabian Sea and swaying palm trees and Park Hyatt
Resort & Spa is the best place to experience that.
Kerala Beaches
Another
prolific beach destination in Kerala is Kovalam where international tourists
throng in large numbers. A small fishing village in early 1900’s, Kovalam shot
to fame after the arrival of the hippies in 1970’s. The
latest trend which is fast catching the eye of global nomads coming to Kovalam
is Ayurvedic wellness resorts owing to the natural wealth of Kerala. Some
popular names in this list are Somatheeram
Beach Resort and Manaltheeram
Beach Resort.
Chennai
Beaches
The charming beaches of Chennai offer a perfect retreat
from the tropical climate of this metropolitan city. The shimmering white
sands, calming views of the Arabian Sea and the cool breeze is what beckons its
residents as well as the tourists. If recent reports are anything to be
believed, the state tourism board has approved the appeal of turning the Marina
beach into a water sport haven.
Indian beaches have attained global reckon for providing
the perfect ambience for fun and relaxation. Right from Goa to Kerala to
Chennai, each destination has come up with new trends and innovations for
supporting the growth of tourism in this region.
