Nice beach town, accommodations and restaurants located on the cliff above the beach. If getting a rickshaw from town ask to be dropped off at the helipad, then you can walk down.
Attractions:
In town there is a nice temple.
If you walk north along the beach you will reach Black beach, that is very nice and quiet with more accommodations but the beach is mostly rocky and less swimming friendly.
Food:
Varkala Marine Palace– on the lower section of the beach, near the road going to town, really good breakfast items.
