  1. #1

    Radhanagar Beach, Havelock

    · Andaman & Nicobar Islands
    Often called Asia's best beach. White sand, turquoise water, no jet skis. Reach via ferry from Port Blair. Best from November-April; closed during monsoon.
  2. #2

    Palolem Beach

    · Goa
    South Goa's crown jewel — crescent-shaped, lined with coconut palms and dotted with beach shacks. Calmer than the northern beaches but with a lively nightlife. Visit November-March.
  3. #3

    Varkala Beach

    · Kerala
    Set on dramatic red cliffs overlooking the Arabian Sea. Cliff-top cafes, Ayurvedic spas and a holy spring at Papanasam Beach. Visit October-March.
  4. #4

    Gokarna Om Beach

    · Karnataka
    Shaped like the symbol of 'Om', this is the quieter Goa alternative. Reachable on foot from Kudle Beach via a clifftop trail. November-February for ideal weather.
  5. #5

    Marari Beach

    · Kerala
    Long, golden and refreshingly untouristy compared to Kerala's bigger names. A great base for slow travel with the backwaters of Alleppey nearby.
  6. #6

    Tarkarli Beach

    · Maharashtra
    Crystal-clear water and India's best scuba diving outside the Andamans. Live the village-stay life or do a Sindhudurg Fort day-trip. Best from October-May.
  7. #7

    Agonda Beach

    · Goa
    South Goa's most peaceful long beach. No loud parties, no jet skis, just a 3 km stretch of sand, sea turtles nesting in season and yoga retreats. November-March.
  8. #8

    Cherai Beach

    · Kerala
    Just 30 km north of Kochi. Coconut palms on one side, backwaters on the other. Long, walkable and good for a quiet weekend. October-February.
  9. #9

    Puri Beach

    · Odisha
    Long, sandy and culturally rich — Jagannath Temple is steps away. Visit during the Puri Beach Festival in November for sand sculpture, music and dance.
  10. #10

    Kovalam Beach

    · Kerala
    Three crescent-shaped beaches in a row, anchored by the iconic red-and-white Vizhinjam lighthouse. A long-standing favourite for Ayurveda and sunset watching.
