Shankumugham Beach is known for its calm atmosphere and cultural significance. It is traditionally associated with the Arattu ceremony, where temple idols are brought to the sea for a ceremonial bath. One of the beach’s main attractions is the large “Sagarkanya” (Mermaid) sculpture created by renowned artist Kanayi Kunhiraman.
Unlike busier beaches nearby, Shankumugham offers a relaxed setting, making it ideal for evening walks and sunset views.
