Those waves were really impressive, but not for those up for a swim.

The main beach had been closed for swimming a few days that week, so for those wanting a dip it was time to head to the southern end.

At this end was a more sheltered spot for a quiet dip. Surrounded by the green hill of the Malabar peninsula and the sand dunes, you could be mistaken you’re in a little coastal hamlet.

The water was clear, and although not deep, was enough to be refreshing.

And safe enough to introduce the little ones to the water too.
