Want to escape into some much-needed solitude, with the cool waves of the Arabian Sea lapping at the warm grainy expanse of sand? Carry nothing but a book to bury your nose into and some music if you wish, get a beach bed, and lay all day under a thatch-roof gazebo. No hawkers to disturb you and no hordes of tourists thronging the beach face, just an expanse of solace that is reached through a rickety wooden bridge across the river that flows just behind the beach. Get your dose of yoga and Ayurveda here.
