So i have decided to take my soul to an unknown territory and nothing would be better then this union territory,standing at the station 7 a.m in the morning ,i was thinking from where should i start exploring this place,finally first got retiering rooms which are easily available for railway passengers, i took AC one keeping in mind the humidity in the air.

We get a clear and mesmerizing view of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,it contains rare stained glass panels depicting events from the life of Christ and saints of the Catholic Church.

After Gazing at the marvellous beauty of the Holy church ,we headed towards the market to rent a bike and then my journey to meet all the sea shore ends which this french place holds started.

My first beach was rock beach as it was nearby the station,it was sunny enough but we found a good hut restaurant just in front of the ocean.so this beach called as rock beach because it has huge rocks it gives the similar view as that of the marine drive in mumbai,its a must visit place if u stepped in this french place.

DAY 2:-

After getting drained from last day's long walks over the beaches,we decided to go back to the room and relax after having nice meal.

One quick thing not to forget, if you love sea food then pondy is the best place for you, you will love the street foods including crabs,fishes and prawns me being a food lover tried almost all of them,would recommend you the same.

Day 2

Its better to rent a car or bike as the beaches are quite far so renting auto for small distances might not be pocket friendly.They might charge you 250/day and will be needing your id proof as security with them.

So to reach to this paradise beach you need to go through a fery from the boarding to the beach which is chargable person.The beach is availed with common utilities for both genders.I've decided to stay in paradise beach till evening to witness the sunset beauty when the sun dissolves in the ocean adn headed back through the local markets buying some stuffs.

Day 3 :-

Today being the last day i have covered the last beach which was in my list and probably the most happening one,i had the delicious omellete and prawns dish which was soo great,do try it along with that you will get shacks and beach side cafes as well to enjoy the view when its too hot.

I was gazing the sea waves and could feel the silence even in the noisy waves,it was a great refreshing feeling,and the food and accomadation is affordable.
