Beaches across India have a charm of their own.

Most are crowded, especially the ones in north Goa. But it's here that you'll find vendors and tourists coexisting happily.

You can also experience solitude on the beach, especially if you travel to Kerala and visit Varkala or Edava.

For a few hours after sunrise, you'll find bliss on these lovely strips of sand but, closer to sunset, sounds of people partying under shacks fill the air.

The miles of lovely ocean that surround the 36 islands that dot Lakshadweep are prefect for water sports.

If Narendra Modi has inspired you to give the phirang waters a miss and vacay at a desi paradise, these glamorous celebs will help amp up your style.

Recommending things to do at the beach, the model writes: 'The newly opened Sao restaurant in Ashwem, Goa, truly lives up to its name! This dining experience by the shore is a must-try in Goa. The ambience exudes aesthetics with a bohemian touch, offering surreal sunsets from its decks.'
