Sunset View Point - Vista point in Kovalam - Kanniyakumari, India

Kanyakumari, also know as Cape Comorin during British rule is popular for watching sunrise and sunset over the ocean.

There are several beaches (Kanyakumari beach, Muttom beach, Thengapattinam beach, Chothavillai beach, Sanguturai beach, Colachel beach) near around the town, but most of them are bound by rocks and not an ideal place to play in waves or swimming, except Sanguturai beach which is a white sandy beach in this region with ideal conditions to swim. One of the iconic monuments in Kanyakumari, the Vivekananda Rock Memorial is located 100 meters from the shore and is one of the major tourist attractions in Kanyakumari. The small rock island can be reached by a ferry and consists of two main structures, the Vivekananda Mandapam and the Shripada Mandapam.

The pedestal of the statue is artistically designed and is decorated with 10 elephants that signify the various directions.

Such a peaceful and relaxing place. Loved the sunset view from the tip of India

Beautiful place to see sunset A walk from sunset point to this place would be amazing

Lovely , peaceful and you can get together with the nature , beach and the waves , sea looks green in colour and the best part is no garbage in the shore and you will have no one around during morning 10 till 3 in the evening , people come here to see the sun set. Basically it is a small fishing village near Kanyakumari. Has a small pond and a big pond where you can do fishing if you have a fishing hook. A must visit place to enjoy the Beauty of the nature.

Honestly the best place in kovalam to catch the sunset. A rocky beach with a very good position to help you see the sunset in all its glory. Usually a bit crowded but there's also people selling pearls, ice-cream and snacks. Be careful of the rocks. They are very slippery.

Not so great. But not crowded. Can witness colourful sand.. and beautiful sunset

Very peaceful and amazing view. I wish I could have given 4 stars instead of 5 because the place was really dirty with trash all around but I can't because I know we are moving in the right direction...

One of the best spots in Kanyakumari area to see the sunsets.. An ideal place to practice yoga in the evenings as well.. However it may not be safe once it gets dark..
