Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider adding a visit to the Shri Bhadrakali Temple or the Half Moon Beach. If you have less time, skip the Fort and focus on the beaches. Make sure to wear sunscreen and stay hydrated, and be prepared for a lot of walking as many of the beaches are only accessible by foot. Avoid the monsoon season (June-September) as the beaches can get crowded and the parties can get rained out. Lastly, don't forget to have fun and make memories!
