The gentle lapping of turquoise water against soft, pale sand greets you at Cheriyam Southern Beach, a serene counterpoint to the island's more frequented spots. This hidden gem on the southern edge of Cheriyam Island offers an authentic escape, where the only sounds are the ocean's rhythm and the occasional seabird. Itβs a place designed for quiet contemplation and unhurried relaxation, far removed from the hustle of typical tourist destinations. As part of OnlyBeaches' commitment to comprehensive island coverage, this stretch of shoreline, while not a bustling hub, reveals the understated beauty that defines Lakshadweep. The beach itself is a stretch of fine, soft sandy shore, perfect for long, leisurely walks where your footprints are often the only ones. It's an ideal spot for simply laying out a towel for some uninterrupted sun bathing, soaking in the tropical warmth. The waters here are remarkably calm and clear, a translucent invitation for a refreshing swim. There are no strong currents or significant waves to contend with, ensuring a peaceful and safe experience for all ages, though supervision is always advised. OnlyBeaches recognizes its tranquil appeal, highlighting its unspoiled charm and suitability for those seeking genuine solitude away from commercial developments. For the most enchanting experience, aim to visit in the early morning as the sun rises, casting a warm, golden glow across the landscape, or in the late afternoon to witness a breathtaking sunset over the Arabian Sea. The light at these times transforms the already scenic vistas into something truly magical. This beach is particularly suited for individuals or couples yearning for a private retreat, or anyone who appreciates nature's quiet grandeur. Itβs not a hub for watersports or bustling activity, but rather a sanctuary for peace. A local tip: pack a picnic with your favorite snacks and drinks, as facilities are minimal, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty without interruption and extend your tranquil hours.
