Choosing the right beach......

Everyone loves a good beach holiday but not everyone loves sitting around all day lazing getting a tan. This makes choosing a beach very important so I have laid out a few criteria to help you choose which is the best beaches in India, for you.

Relaxation

Have a good think about how you like to relax! Is it taking Yoga classes, meditation, doing nothing and reading a good book or do you prefer to do something a bit more active like sailing, paragliding, shopping or swimming?

Quiet or Busy

Would you prefer to get away from it all and relax on a deserted beach away from the droves or do you prefer to have people around to talk to and party with? This is one of the most important criteria when choosing a beach so take a good look at the guides for the beaches on offer and make an educated decision on the best beach for you.

Adventure and culture

If you are the sort of person who likes to immerse themselves in a country's culture and history, wildlife or something more active like trekking etc, India is a perfect destination for this as the culture is fascinating, scenery stunning and the colours striking.

Many people travel to India for adventure, trekking, flying, ballooning or simply exploring. If this is the case then a beach holiday is probably not what you are looking for but if it is, there are a few Indian beaches which offer great adventure opportunities. Again, take a good look at the beach guides, you are bound to find something you like.
