This southern Indian region is so much warmer than the northern region. It was a significant temperature change. The local temp is in the low/mid 30C.
I could only hang out on a beach for a few hours. I can't just lounge around. It's too boring otherwise. Have things to see.
I requested that we stop by the Veli Lake Tourist Village on the way to Varkala. It is only 7km from our starting point of Trivandrum. The main tourist zone was picturesque, but the beach area (carnival zone) was filthy. Rubbish and smell of sewerage. It's so sad to see the difference. That is why I will not touch any internal water sources in India (all polluted).
Varkala gravitates activity by the beach. The Black Sand Beach, Varkala Beach, and Cliff are all close to each other.
We had lunch at the cliff top. I ate one of the nicest seafood tikka. I was so hungry that I started eating it before I took the picture.
I spent the afternoon swimming at Varkala and Black Sand beaches. The water was warm, and the Arabian Sea would have been the cleanest piece of water I have seen in India.
There was no chance for dinner as that seafood tilka was way too filling.
