kalpakkam beach...
hi all, had a nice weekend this time with friends at the kalpakkam beach, known as the exotic casuarina beach among nature lovers(like me :)).
We started around 3.30pm from thiruvanmiyur, boarded a puduchery bus and within minutes we all were into a fantastic siesta, after all who could resist the sleep with the lullaby of the east coast wind around and that too after fighting with a heavy weight lunch at the lakshmi andhra mess. Half an hour later we woke up to a view of the majestic atomic power plant of kalpakkam.
On the suggestion of the bus conductor we all got down at the kalpakkam pudhuppatinam village. When we were out of the bus it was already 4.30pm. Someone suggested to take a share auto to reach the beach. so we took it,the auto went into the IGCAR township ,through a nicely wooded campus it took us to the periphery-the tsunami protection walls, only at this point we realised that the beach is just at a walkable distance. after settling the bills we proceeded towards the beach. The casuarinas which were already visible over the walls welcomed us with their graceful dance. There were stairs over the wall to provide the township people with easy access to the beach . Once we were up the stairs we were deeply enthralled by the grandeur that danced before us, yes! here it was -the bay of bengal!.
what a view!. I bet no one could resist the temptation to take a dip in the crystal clear waters of this great sea. Everyone of us rushed to the sea to satisfy the adventurers inside us. The rest is pure fantasy. words fall short to describe that experience. so here are the pictures...
