7 Best White Sand Beaches In India For A Peaceful Vacation
Life has been feeling a little ‘off’ lately, hasn’t it? It’s like there are too many tabs open, both in your brain and on your laptop. The work chats never end, your to-do list keeps expanding, and most importantly, the idea of taking a break feels like… a task.
You know what the worst part is? Even the fun stuff, like catching up with your friends, starts to feel draining. You’re not imagining all this, we’re all running on low battery, pretending like rest is optional when it’s NOT.
You’re in dire need of rest. That calls for a holiday, doesn’t it? Well, that’s what we’re here for. If you’ve already done the basic beach trips but you still love them too much, here’s something that will go with your dilemma. A white sand beach trip! Yes, you probably wouldn’t have visited one till now, so here are seven white sand beaches in India that will win you over and help you relax.
7 Best & Picturesque White Sand Beaches Of India
1. Patolem Beach, Goa
Goa Tourism
We get it—Goa is fun. But sometimes, fun looks like 700 people fighting for a sunbed and EDM music playing while you’re just trying to hear your own thoughts. Patolem Beach is the antidote. Tucked away in Goa, this underrated gem feels like a different world altogether.
The white sand here is spellbinding and the crowd is barely there. Come here when you want to be near people but not with people! (IYKYK)
2. Ganpatiphule Beach, Maharashtra
Maharashtra Tourism
Located in the Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra, Ganphatiphule is an underrated spot. It’s the kind of beach where you wake up at 5:30 am and sit on the beach for hours until the sun channels its fury upon you. This beach forces you to relax, reset and ditch your phone.
So, next time, if you want to plan a trip to Khandala or Mahabaleshwar for a quick getaway if you’re a Mumbaikar, plan a trip here instead.
3. Malpe Beach, Udupi, Karnataka
Karnataka
You probably haven’t heard of this one—and that’s exactly why it’s perfect. Malpe Beach feels like a glitch in the simulation. No chaos, no commercialisation, just endless stretches of soft, pale sand and sea that changes colour depending on the mood of the sky.
There’s something incredibly healing about being somewhere that doesn’t ask anything from you, and Malpe is exactly that place.
4. Varkala Beach, Kerala
