I am a beach lover. Given a choice, I always prefer beach destinations. The sight of sea, waves and fresh sound along with water sport activities refresh my senses instantly. The trip becomes even more successful if my room faces the ocean. I love the view of sea all day. Till date I have been to multiple beaches. Although I would not say I have visited many beaches but have visited enough to be able to give my preferences to fellow travellers.
If one is only on a beach trip to India then one must visit below top 5 beach destinations .
