One of the standout features of Paradise Beach is its relatively tranquil atmosphere. Unlike some other beaches that can get crowded and noisy, Paradise Beach offers a more peaceful environment, perfect for lounging, reading a book, or simply enjoying the natural beauty. It’s also a fantastic spot for photography, with its stunning sunrise and sunset views providing a picturesque backdrop.
It's the most beautiful beach ever! You have to get on a boat which will take you to this beach. It's like an island. It was such a wonderful experience. You buy food and stuff on the beach side.

We visited in the morning and arrived before 9:30 am at Chunnambur Boat House to avoid crowds. Weather was too hot in mid-September to truly enjoy Paradise beach, but we were happy to actually get our feet wet. Beautiful clams, crabs and shells on the beach. Boat ride on ferry boat to the beach was very slow but picturesque. Coming back from the beach, only the speed boat was available. This ride on the speed boat was very memorable. The boat captain did many turns and twirls to give us the feel of being on a roll-a-coaster. Note - boats available only from 9:30 am to 4 pm to the beach.
