Sothavilai Beach The Sotha Vilai Beach is one of the most famous beaches that can be found in the entire district of Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu. This beach is an offbeat attraction, which means that many people do not know about it, but the beach does deserve more attention than what it gets. The glorious beach stretches for over 4 kilometres, which makes it one of the longest natural beaches in the entire state.it is one of the cleanest beaches in the district as it is a little away from human habitation and not very much frequented by tourists and hence a haven for children who wish to enjoy building sand castles. For the adults who boast of their stamina it offers shallow waters and not-so-frightening waves to try swimming and the views that this attraction offers cannot be put into words. The glistening white sand with high dunes and the clear, pure water extending indefinitely to meet the horizon miles and miles away is indeed a sight to behold.

Sothavilai Beach has quite shallow waters, it is an ideal place for swimming and enjoying a water bath. You can also find a few resting cottages at the beach, and a view tower at the beach which is visited by a large number of tourists each day to enjoy the magnificent panoramic views. Unfortunately, the beach was damaged severely by the massive tsunami that hit the nation back in 2004. The concerned authorities, however, with their constant efforts, refurbished and reconstructed the beach; and this famous tourist destination has been attracting tourists ever since.
