Shankumugham Beach, Beach in Thiruvananthapuram, India
The golden sand beach extends along the Arabian Sea coastline, featuring palm trees and providing views of fishing boats on the water.
The area transformed from a traditional fishing settlement into a recreational destination during Kerala's coastal development in the 1960s.
Local fishermen maintain their centuries-old traditions at the northern section, where they launch boats and repair nets each morning.
The beach remains open daily from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with lifeguards on duty and food vendors selling regional snacks and coconut water.
A 35-meter-long concrete sculpture of a mermaid rests on the beach, functioning as a gathering point for visitors and photographers.
