Dhanushkodi Beach in Rameshwaram is one of the most stunning beaches in India because of its natural beauty. A place that was almost fully destroyed by a cyclone in 1964 now has a minimal population and thus is untouched by industries or the outside world. Many people call it a ghost town because of the structural remains of various buildings and its sparse population. However, this is this very reason that draws tourists from not just India but around the world to come here and explore the incredibly beautiful beach.
Another major reason for it being such a popular destination in India is because of the presence of Rama Setu (the mythical bridge that Lord Hanuman and his monkeys built for Lord Rama and his troupe to reach Lanka). One can see the remains of the mythical bridge, which is now called Adam’s bridge.
