Kanyakumari, Where Three Oceans Meet!

Hi, Last month we went to Kanyakumari, a small town located on the Southernmost tip of India. It is surrounded on the three sides by the Bay of Bengal, the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea. In fact, the three oceans merge there. Read on about our trip in my blog post:

Great blog, Lata.

Were you able to see the 3 different color sand beaches right at the tip? Only when the ocean currents are right can you see this phenomenon.

@magical: Thanks! We did see the water in different colours (shades of green, blue and grey), and the composition was changing frequently. Bands of colours of varied shapes appeared in the ocean, only to change to a completely different shape some time later! But no, we could not see different colours in the sand beaches. Have you seen that phenomenon?
