Odayam Beach

Odayam Beach is Varkala's quietest and most unspoiled alternative — a pristine, largely undeveloped black-sand beach 1.5 km north of the main Varkala Cliff, accessible by a scenic cliff-edge walk. Home to a small fishing community and bordered by coconut groves, it offers the Varkala beach experience without the crowds, shops, and tourist infrastructure. A top Varkala offbeat destination for travellers seeking authentic Kerala coastal life, sunrise photography, and complete beach solitude.
