    Things to point down before hoping
    Could have been much better on the activities front and also, the prices are too high for any food we purchase. That's it!

    Good beach
    Rock beach as the name suggests has lot of big rocks lining up the shore so it's not really accessible along the complete strip. The area around rock beach is a happening area and pedestrian only which is a great initiative. It's highly recommended during sunset.

    Beach with beautiful views but needs to be cleaned regularly
    Serenity Beach is located near Kottakuppam, which is more of a fishing village than a typical tourist attraction on the outskirts of Puducherry. A narrow road connects the beach to the ECR. The development of this as a tourist attraction has considerable potential for improvement. Although the beach has beautiful views, it needs to be cleaned because we can see rum, wine, and whiskey bottles, as well as papers with food waste on them. Walking on the beach is challenging.
