Beach Holidays in India covers the length of India’s 7,500-odd kilometre coastline, right from little-known beaches such as Bakkhali on the Eastern Coast to Mandvi on the Western Coast. The book has comprehensive information on over 70 major beach destinations spread across India’s East and West Coast, and the Lakshadweep and Andaman Islands.

All the information tailormade for a perfect beach holiday is provided within these covers. Is the sea safe for swimming? Can one sport beachwear? What are the water sports on offer at a particular destination? The book has all the answers as also the safety norms to be followed while undertaking any adrenaline-laced activity. This book caters to those who are looking for a laidback beach holiday too. From building sandcastles to capturing the changing colours of the sea, our writers make a number of suggestions for relaxing breaks as well.

One of the highlights of this book is the exhaustive coverage of stay options, ranging from 5-star hotels to beach shacks, which offer the best sea views. This book tells you not only how to get to a beach, but also the best places to shop and eat, and the tourist attractions around. The introductory pages offer advice on what to pack before setting off on a beach holiday, safety measures to follow during your holiday and a wrap-up of water sports on offer in India. To help you plan your holiday better, route guides to all the destinations are provided, while an exhaustive back-of-the-book section offers accommodation listings and contact details of tourist offices across the country.
