A Morning at Paradise Beach and An Evening at Promenade

A Morning at Paradise Beach and An Evening at Promenade, Pondicherry, India

We woke up early today because we were excited to visit the most beautiful and clean beach in Pondicherry, Paradise Beach. After a quick freshening up and a delicious breakfast, we started our journey to Chunnambar Boat House around 8 a.m., which was about 10 kilometers from our hotel. Surprisingly, we reached there before the ticket windows opened. The friendly security guard told us to wait until 9 a.m. for entry tickets. There was ample paid parking space, and washrooms were available behind the ticket window.

Once we got our entry tickets, we made our way to the point where boats take passengers to the beach. There’s another ticket window where we purchased tickets for a boat ride. The first ride departs around 9:30 a.m. We took some pictures and explored the premises while waiting. As more people arrived, we hopped on a boat for a scenic ride through the backwaters to Paradise Beach.

The boat ride was smooth, and we were the first to set foot on the white sandy shore. Despite the cloudy day, the sun peeking through the clouds created a wonderful sight. We played in the sand, walked in the waves, took pictures, and collected various sea shells. It felt like we had the beach all to ourselves. Local people on the boat were setting up refreshment stalls. After spending a delightful 2 hours, we took a boat back to the Chunnambar Boat House. ......
