Information about Surya Samudra Beach Garden

Surya Samudra Beach Garden is situated on a rocky surface between two deserted beaches. It is a very spacious and lush green resort. This is a place like dreaming in the silence with the sun and the roar of the waves. An impressive line-up of 21 antique granite sculptures of lions welcomes every visitor at the reception. They are positioned against the backdrop of an unpolished granite wall. A pathway laid with rectangular granite slabs reminds of the outer courtyard of traditional Kerala temples and ends with a pair of carved granite pillars in front.
