    This temple is so beautifully decorated, that it’s just a pleasure to walk in, sit on the floor and look around. The little stories of Ganesha are sculptured on the walls around you and are amazingly done with so much details and color. The ceiling outside is stunning. And it’s a very clean temple, unlike many where the rails rake over much of the space.

    To walk on the promenade at the evening or for the sunrise is a great activity in Pondicherry. There’s a lot going on, with locals and tourists are enjoying the breeze. The statue of Gahndi is a must.

    This is one of the cleanest beach in Pondicherry. You need to take a ferry to beach. If you are going into water, pls note that shower area is very dirty and smells badly. Sometimw, there is no water also. So it will be difficult to clean yourself after a bath in the sea. Limited fun activities - camel and horse ride etc. Can see people drinking opening on the beach and no one was taking any action.
    Ferry ticket should be kept for return journey as well.

    Because of over crowd in the May month, it is not clean but the relaxation you get in this beach is awesome, the Govt. had also made certain guidelines that vehicles are not allowed in the near roads, so beware of you parking your four wheeler when you try to visit this place.

    Our Lady of the Angels - The church built in Greco-Roman style, casts an ethereal aura with pleasing light in soft hues, and uplifting towers pointing the unseen angels singing 'Gloria in Excelsis Deo'. Our Lady was addressed as Hail Mary, Ave Maria, by the angel Gabriel. The angels again announced the birth of her son to the shepherds. The church is nursed well by its keepers, tenderness, gentleness and grace fill the holy place. The mind can submerge itself in the surrounding peace away from the bedlam of the streets. This church is beautiful and the French Catholic influence is remarkable and enduring.

    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.

    Gorgeous exterior which are intricately designed. The interior itself is nothing to write home about, but it provides a quaint, peaceful backdrop if you would like to have a quiet moment.

    Its about showing your patriotism in there and nothing much, but the place is well maintained and you can go through the history behind this Memorial.

    It is the only park which is near the Beach and due to the parking issues it looks crampy, but inside kids can enjoy and have a nice time and we as parents can rest too :-) .!

    Its a nice hangout for an evening walk besides an esplanade. There are a lot of food joints as well.

    It’s a little, local museum with quite random objects exhibited. It’s right next to the park so it’s easy to just go in, make a quick tour and be out in 10-15 min. The display of statues of the Hindu gods is interesting.

    As there are various beaches I find this beach as one of the serene beach in pondicherry and we can comfortably have one to 2 hours of pleasant experience enjoying the waves and also a nice breath.!
