Reviews Of Western Coast Beach Walk

Minicoy, Lakshadweep, India
The Western Coast Beach Walk in Minicoy offers one of the most serene and picturesque experiences on the island. The island, shaped like a crescent, features a massive and calm lagoon on its western side, and the beach flanking this lagoon is perfect for leisurely strolls. The sand is soft and powde ry white, contrasting beautifully with the stunning turquoise and azure waters of the lagoon. The walk is generally long, as the crescent shape of the island extends for about 11 kilometers, allowing for a lengthy, peaceful experience. Unlike the rugged, open sea side, the lagoon side is protected by the coral reef, resulting in calm, shallow waters ideal for swimming and wading. The entire coastline is fringed with a dense growth of tall palm and coconut trees, providing a refreshing shade and a classic tropical backdrop. The lack of commercial crowds ensures a pristine, almost untouched feel to the walk, making it perfect for introspection and enjoying the pure natural beauty of Lakshadweep. Along the walk, visitors can observe the traditional village life, as the settlements (Avah) are situated near this coast. The beach walk is also a center for various water sports, including kayaking, pedal boating, and sailing, all offered in the calm lagoon waters. The sight of the colorful traditional racing boats (Jahadhoni) or fishing boats anchored or sailing adds a vibrant cultural element to the natural landscape. In the evenings, the western coast is an excellent location to witness spectacular sunsets over the vast lagoon. The beach environment is clean and maintained by the community, reflecting the islanders' love for order and cleanliness, as seen in their houses. While the open sea seabed can be rocky in some parts, the lagoon beach offers a gentle, soft stretch, though tourists are often advised to be cautious or wear light footwear. The long, winding path through the dense groves near the coast connects the different villages, offering a chance to meet locals and truly absorb the peaceful, distinctive culture of Maliku.
