@fasi6083 wow this is quite magnificent and well organized.  

Due to lockdown, our beaches are closed. I miss watching the waves rolling in and people gathering.  Thanks for sharing your photos

@SholaIB Thanks for the comment, yes there are many public beaches which are free for the tourists (including the international tourists) provided they follow some dress code standards set by the concerned ministry.

@ fasi6083 you only have access to those beaches by paying? ... how much you pay? ... is there a lot of privatization on the beaches there? ... thanks for sharing, beautiful images!

@Robert24 Majority of the public beaches here are for free and all its maintenance comes under the supervision of government. There are few private beaches which are owned by luxury hotels, Reputed companies/organizations and universities dedicated exclusively for their employees (For free of cost).
