What else?
The shallow lagoons of Kalpeni promise a wide-variety of water sports to the sporty visitors while other activities one could indulge in would be long walks on the soft sands, or swimming in the calm waters of the sea. Visitors could also check out the humongous coral stone deposits on eastern side, which have formed a natural wall and serve as a major tourist attraction.
