Summer Sands Beach Resort

'Summer Sands' nestles in an arcadia of palms resonating with bird song. Dolphins are a familiar sight along this 1000 ft. beachfront. It's a quiet retreat frequented by artists, writers and other creative folk wanting to rejuvenate in a natural habitat. One can explore by cycle numerous lagoons that meander to the sea, or trek along a beach of an unending coast line. At times of low tide pick cockles off the riverbed or watch chameleon sunsets from the heights of Someshwar rock. An ideal place for reunions, office picnics, team building, an artist's retreat , honeymooners or just a day out together.
