    Bay of Bengal on one side and Indian ocean on the other, just a road in between. It's the life time experience. Nice sea food in local shops. Excellent view. No toilet facility. Not much security

    Incredible place for a weekend drive.. staright road with Sea on either side. Straight road until you can see.. the ghost town with remains of 1964 cyclone.. a very long beautiful shallow beach. Very clean and clear water.. the temperature also is very pleasant. Overall it was an unforgettable experience.

    Dhanushkodi Beach is a remarkable destination that marks the end of India’s landmass, where the waters of the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean converge. According to the epic Ramayana, this is the site where Lord Rama and his army constructed a bridge across the sea to reach Lanka. The beach is stunning and pristine, with white sands and turquoise waves. However, visitors are advised not to swim here, as the currents are strong and dangerous. There have been many fatal incidents in the past due to the unpredictable tides. Apart from admiring the scenic beauty, there are no other activities to do here. But it is still a worthwhile place to visit and experience the history and culture of Rameswaram.

    The last end point of India we can visit towards Sri Lanka border. Very relaxing place with mesmerizing views and beaches along with historical places and temple of vibhishan. The road in between the sea.

    Dhanushkodi Beach lies on the tip of the Rameswaram island. In this beach, the Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean merge which is known as Arichal Munai in Tamil. Amazing drive o Dhanushkodi. Beautiful road and drive to Dhanushkodi. One can stop at one of the beaches on the way and enjoy the sunset as there is ardlly any crowd.

    It was once in a lifetime experience to drive on 20 km Rameshwaram - Dhanushkodi stretch of Pamban Island, one of the most picturesque and exciting roads in the world. With Bay of Bengal on one side and the Indian Ocean on the other, especially the last 10 km of road leading to Dhanushkodi is stunningly beautiful. Prior to the 1964 devastating cyclone, Danushkodi is believed to have been a prosperous town. As on date, mostly ruins remain.... a testimony to the past. There is a Shri Ram temple as well, with a floating Ram Setu rock. There are some stalls selling local handicrafts, tea/ coffee, cold drinks, cutfruits and sea food etc. A five km beatiful drive further down leads you to Dhanushkodi Beach and Ramsetu view point.... not to be missed

    Dhanushkodi Beach is a remarkable destination that marks the end of India’s landmass, where the waters of the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean converge. The auto-rickshaw will charge you around 800-900 rupees from Rameshwaram temple. This place is very beautiful and vibrant during sunrise.

    Fabulous, superb, so much beautiful beach. It's surrounded by three sides of water which is lovely. The main attraction of the beach is "RamSetu". Once u"ll go there u"ll nvr want to go Goa and other places. To see at the sea, the heavy water flowing in the sea will force u to spend yr whole day there. In fact the way to reach this beach is completely surrounded by water on both sides. In yr cab u"ll enjoy the beauty of this place from the start. It's full of the nature of beauty.

    Great water, a beautiful jade blue, milky white waves. The waves are a bit strong and very little chace of rescue if one is swept off the shore. So please be careful even if one is an adept swimmer. The sand is absolutely soft and a joy to walk upon but the wind also slams enough sand up while sitting a bit away from the water. There are a few shops along the road that cook and sell freshly caught fish deep-fried and in stews.

    Dhanushkodi Beach lies on the tip of the Rameswaram island. In this beach, the Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean merge which is known as Arichal Munai in Tamil. Before 1964, Dhanushkodi was a busy, crowded city. The Dhanushkodi Beach attracted thousands of tourists each day Timings 6 am to 5 pm the beach is clean.no network..I had a real life experience of watching a post apocalyptic movie where someone visiting a town where no/ little life presentDhanushkodi was hit by a cyclone and was almost destroyed by it. It is considered a ghost town, as the place became uninhabitable. Many tourists still visit Dhanushkodi Beach. .

    Its a beautiful journey to reach to this beach. End point might disappoint you a bit due to lot of rush but you can stop you car before visiting the endpoint on your way and enjoy the beach. It's like heaven on earth. Ramsetu is not visible but you must visit it once.

    Best beach on east coast. Dhanushkodi is an abandoned town at the south-eastern tip of Pamban Island of the state of Tamil Nadu in India. It is south-east of Pamban and is about 24 kilometres (15 mi) west of Talaimannar in Sri Lanka. The town was destroyed during the 1964 Rameswaram cyclone and remains uninhabited in the aftermath. Today only a few vendors and restaurants can be seen at Dhanushkodi during the day along with the ruins of the long destroyed town. Dhanushkodi is on the tip of Pamban island, separated from the mainland by the Palk Strait. The National Highway completed the 9.5-km-long road – 5 km from Mukuntharayar Chathiram to Dhanushkodi and 4.5 km from Dhanushkodi to Arichamunai. Until 2016, Dhanushkodi was reachable either on foot along the seashore or in jeeps. In 2016, a road was completed from the village of Mukundarayar Chathiram. A metre gauge railway line connected Mandapam on mainland India to Dhanushkodi. Boat mail express ran from Chennai Egmore to Dhanushkodi till 1964 when the metre-gauge branch line from Pamban to Dhanushkodi was destroyed during the 1964 Dhanushkodi cyclone. In 2003, Southern Railway sent a project report to Ministry of Railways for re-laying a 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) railway line to Dhanushkodi from Rameswaram. The planning commission looked into the possibility of a new railway line between Dhanushkodi and Rameswaram in 2010. The area around Rameswaram is prone to high-intensity geomorphic activity. A scientific study conducted by the Geological Survey of India indicated that the southern part of Dhanushkodi facing the Gulf of Mannar sank by almost 5 metres (16 ft) in 1948 and 1949, due to vertical tectonic movement of land parallel to the coastline. As a result of this, a patch of land of about 0.5 kilometres (0.31 mi) in width, stretching 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) from north to south, was submerged under the sea. On 17 December 1964, a tropical depression formed at 5°N 93°E in the South Andaman Sea. On 19 December, it intensified into a cyclonic storm. After 21 December 1964, it moved westwards, almost in a straight line, at the rate of 400 to 550 kilometres (250 to 340 mi) per day. On 22 December, it crossed Vavuniya in Sri Lanka and made landfall at Dhanushkodi on the night of 22–23 December 1964. Estimated wind velocity was 280 kilometres per hour (170 mph) and tidal waves were 7 metres (23 ft) high. An estimated 1,800 people died in the cyclonic storm on 22 December including 115 passengers on board the Pamban-Dhanushkodi passenger train. The entire town was marooned and the Government of Madras declared Dhanushkodi as a ghost town, unfit for living. In December 2004, around the 40th anniversary of the deadly cyclone, the sea around Dhanushkodi receded about 500 metres (1,600 ft) from the coastline, briefly exposing the submerged part of the town before massive tsunami waves struck the coast. The wreckage of the Rameswaram-Dhanushkodi passenger train, which was hit by the cyclone and tidal waves that struck the area on December 22, lies half submerged here. More than 115 people died in the area-wide calamity 1964.12.31 The locomotive in the picture is B Class 4-6-0 No. 31376 built by North British

    This is southern tip of India. There is huge vehicle parking available and on the way to beach from city is breathtaking view. This place is so windy. From here srilanka boarder is just 24kms. plastic is not allowed and we need to pay entry fee of Rs50 for green zone. Ghost town - this place abandoned after the cyclone. Now people are opened few small shops. Different type of home decoration material made up of seashells available here.

    Dhanushkodi end point of Indian peninsula, most amazing 🤩 view point and also witness the ruins of Dhanushkodi town. Must visit place when your in Rameswaram. From morning 6am to 6pm we are allowed to visit this place. Also there are few temples on the way to this point.

  • 4/5 Nilanjan S. 7 months ago on Google
    Located at the last point on the south eastern tip of India, Dhanushkodi is less than an hours' drive from Rameswaram. It is currently uninhabited and is surrounded by the sea on three sides. It is also the place where the Bay of Bengal merges with the Indian Ocean. This is a beautiful location which you must visit if you are in Rameswaram. It can get a bit crowded with tourists and the parking area is disorganized. The beach is reasonably clean and there are ruins of an old British church and a railway station nearby. There are a few stalls selling cold drinks and fried fish in the area

    When coming to Rameshwaram, visiting Dhanushkodi is inevitable. You got to visit this holy/ divine place but only in morning hours. Make sure to be there before or at 10. Because this place experience an early morning sunrise (you can go for sunrise) so day starts early here , and in no time its Hot like anything. The place gets all heated up the sand and crowded.The street food too gets heated like anything so u won’t like it here after 11. You can shop for souvenirs and eat while taking a dip in the ocean.

  • 4/5 Hara P. 5 months ago on Google
    Although the beach is nice and unique, don't anticipate anything out of the ordinary—rather, it feels like the end of India. On the sandy water, we had fun. Though we just arrived on schedule before 5 PM, please be mindful of the time. Many vendors selling sea-related items. The prices are the same everywhere, so don't waste your time looking for a good deal. The sunrise and sunset are really pleasing. Rameswaram is 20 km away, but we had no trouble as we had a rental car

  • 5/5 Sanjay B. 5 months ago on Google
    Amazing place from where Ramsetu was built by Shree Rama to Shrilanka. Amazing road to drive, one side Indian Ocean and other side bay of Bengal. It's around 20km from Rameshwaram Dham. Amazing beach view.

    Wonderful beach , This beach is closed after 5PM . So any one who wants to go to Dhanushkodi Beach they have to plan according to the given timings . It is advised to carry your own water bottles and eatables for hygiene . Near the beach point you can find few sellers . Where the old town used to exists. Nice place to plan according to your convenience .

    The best beach. Clear water. U have Indian Ocean on one side and bay of Bengal on the other side. U can watch the high waves of the Indian Ocean 🌊 calming down when meeting the bay of Bengal. You can visit the place with ur families. Hotels their provide vehicles to go there or their is this gov bus that is available for drop and pickup. It is closed in the evenings due to high tide rise. U have police protection their. Sri Lanka is 17 kms from the beach ( but u can't go to the other side from there 🙈). Beautiful place.
