Amazing Service
Beautiful lake. The days can get very hot, but the evenings are very pleasant. It's a must-visit for birdwatchers. We saw Indian Pond Herons, Intermediate Egret, Grey-headed Swamphens, and many more. Carry your food and water, and don't miss the early morning walk through the woodlands.
Amazing Service
This is a perfect place for photo-shoot, camping, bonfire and picnics. The background is just perfect for pictures and shoots. The sea view is amazing from here, the best view of the sea you can get here, best place for shutterbugs. You can even go down to the sea and enjoy it like never before. Easily reachable from a scooter.

Amazing Birdwatching If you work your way round to the right at the end of the straight - going through the narrow village streets, there is a way down onto a path through wetlands and yet more different habitat that the birds love. Well worth a visit. We went both on our own and as part of a birding camp through Canopy Natures Nest.
