The southernmost tip of India, Cape Comorin or
Kanyakumari is one place in India where you can see Arabian Sea, Indian
Ocean and Bay of Bengal at once, all merging into blue waters of a huge
water body surrounding this important pilgrim center on three sides. The
gorgeous sunrises and enchanting sunsets of the place, especially on
full moon days, are enough to seduce a person to live here forever. The
amazing multi-colored sands are unique, though the beach is not exactly
the one to sunbathe on soft golden sands or go frolicking in the sea
waves as the seashore is rocky and dangerous and people are regularly
warned not to venture further than the manmade wall running along the
beach to mark the limits. However, the lighthouse offers some of the
most delightful views of the surroundings.The seas are rough and waves splash furiously against the rocks here. Kanyakumari beach is a seashell collector's delight. However, some of the greater highlights of the beach are Vivekananda's Rock, a huge stone rising out of the sea, believed to be the seat of meditation of the great saint, Swami Vivekananda. One can see the statue of Vivekananda and a memorial dedicated to him here. A sacred place for the followers of Swami Vivekananda, it is surprising to see such a large number of Bengalis here in this South Indian state. The tourists love to see Sangam, the confluence point of the three seas - Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean. It is also a lagoon where steps lead you into the waters to bathe.
