A spectacular
beach which even very few locals are aware of is called the "Yarada"
beach. Its a private beach coming under Agrigold plantations This is nearer to
the Dolphin nose. The view from Dolphin hill is spectacular. There is Ghat road
leading one to the Dolphin hill and Yarada. Though a lovely beach it is not
considered safe for swimming and playing. Hence do not go inside the waters
above the knee level as a best practice.
This route towards yarada beach will be very exciting. One
can enjoy the bike ride over there. People who go couples alone should be
little careful since its a place used for partying by many guys. So go after 10
am and return back before 5 to 6 pm. It’s amazing place where you can discover yourself in a
