Lounging by the beach as you sip on a drink is the definition of bliss! A beach vacation is a perfect way to destress and is sure to leave anyone rejuvenated. India has no dearth of beaches, but they can often be overcrowded and dirty. The pollution and garbage can leave the water murky and unclear diminishing the experience of the beach-goer. However, there are some hidden gems in India that offer some of the pristine, clear waters you could ever lay your eyes on!
What makes the colour of the ocean blue, green, or murky brown? The water absorbs the red part of the spectrum leaving the commonly observed ocean blue and sometimes various hues of light bounces off of floating sediments and particles in the water creating different shades. There’s nothing quite like sighting crystal clear water beaches with blue and green hues sparkling in the sunlight. Beaches in India rarely get the title of ‘best’ ‘most beautiful’ or ‘Clean and Clear’. But that’s a misconception. We’d like to say #notallbeaches and mention some that are actually quite heavenly.
