Shangumughom Beach
Shangumugham Beach in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, is a serene and popular coastal spot known for its expansive white sand and peaceful atmosphere, located close to the city and the international airport. The beach is culturally significant, considered the 'Arattukadavu' of the presiding deity Sri Ananthapadmanabhan, where thousands perform the Bali Tharpanam ritual on special occasions, and it is a prime site for the Ganesh Nimarjan during Ganesh Chaturthi.
Shangumugham is also famous for the giant 35-meter-long mermaid sculpture called Sagarakanyaka by artist Kanayi Kunhiraman. Visitors enjoy activities such as beach strolling, watching spectacular sunsets, beach sports like volleyball, and relaxing picnics. A children's park nearby offers cycling and traffic-rule awareness facilities.
Small food stalls and a unique starfish-shaped restaurant provide local cuisine. The beach is known for its natural beauty, traditional fishing by locals, and calm environment, attracting families and tourists who appreciate a less crowded but vibrant seaside experience. However, swimming is usually discouraged due to deep waters and rough sea conditions.
The best time to visit is from October to February when the weather is pleasant and ideal for outdoor activities.
